Abstract

Perception of greater benefits of specific drone uses resulted in support for the legal use of drones without restrictions by law enforcement, citizens and businesses. Although respondents viewed drone use in environmental research and by emergency first responders as beneficial, they had concerns about allowing legal use without any restrictions.
