First Amendment Attorneys Sued Agency On Behalf Of Photojournalist Rob Levine The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has withdrawn unconstitutional restrictions that criminalized drone flights near federal immigration enforcement operations — a direct response to a legal challenge that attorneys from the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press (RCFP) filed on behalf of Minneapolis photojournalist Rob Levine. On Wednesday, the FAA rescinded the regulation in its entirety. In its place, the agency issued an advisory that no longer carries civil or criminal penalties for drone journalists documenting federal agents.
