murky waters

[vil]

Dear teachers,

Would you tell me whether I am right with my interpretation of the expression in bold in the following sentence?

US enters murky legal waters as drone use increase

murky waters = where people are behaving in morally and ethically questionable ways, they are in murky waters

Thank you for your efforts.

Regards,

V

I would say, in this case, "legally questionable ways."
