Yes and it's very bizarre. Here are the notes on the two amendments:
> One would make it illegal to “weaponize” consumer drones.
> The other — and arguably more important — amendment would require drones that fly beyond their operators’ line of sight to broadcast an identity allowing law enforcement to track and connect them to a real person.
Literally neither of these would have had any effect on the case at hand. I'm reminded of gun control legislation - except you can't build a gun from scratch in your basement and quadcopters are very ineffective at killing people.
