A friend and professional photographer on Maui sent me this. It is chilling in it's implications for us should it pass.

I wonder if perhaps you may have misinterpreted its meaning? It's just outlining the circumstances under which law enforcement agencies may use unmanned aircraft. I don't have a problem with that.
§803-B Use of unmanned aircrafts prohibited. Except as provided under this part, it shall be unlawful for any law enforcement agency, state or local public agency, person, or entity to use an unmanned aircraft to gather information, including but not limited to images, photographs, or recordings.

Or have I missed your point somehow?

Hard to tell for sure
Description:

I do indeed think you missed the point. If you took the time to read the proposed legislation, it bans the use of 'drones' FOR ALL PURPOSES, except for law enforcement agency. That mean if passed, ALL private use, for any reason would be banned.
You might consider reading the proposed law this time instead of just jumping in with a gratuitous comment.

But-being that it has to do with Drones, I'm thinking they're probably going to take a "red card" on this, and sit it out.</snip>

"This bill is intended to provide a tool for law enforcement and for data gathering, primarily for law enforcement. It's not intended to be a drone in every garage," Sen. Clayton Hee said.

Fortunately the political ambitions of a state senator do not trump the federal jurisdiction. Even though HI isn't part of the 48 contiguous states, it's airspace is still regulated by the FAA just like all others.
