Saulmon wasn't busted for his drone flight, and it's not clear that the LAPD can do much at this stage. It's a public institution, and the Hollywood location has a see-through fence -- it's not as if the police were guarding a secret operation. He wasn't interfering with their activities, either. There's a chance that California and other states will draft rules limiting what both civilians and cops can do with unmanned craft, but it looks like these confrontations between cops and accountability advocates could continue so long as a gray area exists.
