OK, so I read the line which states: "The presence of a drone at a crime scene for journalistic purposes is in violation of FAA regulations."
Is it? Really? Only if it's done "commercially", surely?
And what's the difference between using a camera phone while rubber necking? Same problem, surely?
Then there's this: “These drones will be able to broadcast live from active shooters or SWAT team tactical units. … (It’s) very, very concerning to law enforcement because it could give the bad guys an upper hand,”
WTF??? Don't the TV copters do this already, and with far better lenses/cameras than a shitty little quad can carry???
I hate articles like this.
