Personal Drones May Present Public Safety Concerns

Posted by Tom Mahood on August 29, 2013 at 10:30pm

...Or so says the Joint Regional Intelligence Center. JRIC is yet another anti-terrorist agency most people have never heard of and is comprised of the Feds and law enforcement agencies in the counties of Southern California. 3689545454?profile=originalThe following single page information bulletin was sent out to JRIC's member agencies on August 27, 2013. There are more than a few things that are interesting in it.

I wasn't sure if the original pdf file would present well in a blog posting so I converted it to a jpg. It should still be legible.

    Any device can be harmful to the general public. A carpenter could cause serious injury with a cordless skill saw. An iron worker could drop a rivet from twenty stories up. A responsible drone operator could have an unlucky accident that could cause injury. The point is its not the device that causes harm its the person operating it. Criminals and persons of bad backgrounds will always find a way to meet there objective. Remember the old saying, "rules were meant to be broken". It's a shame something as usefull and interesting as UAV's will someday be regulated out of the US market. Then only criminals will own them.

    okay I'll be the first person to admit UAVs can have some real public safety issues but that normaly comes in the  form of them fulling out of the sky and their "spinning blades of death" cutting people.  the points the JRIC bring up have nothing to do with "public safety" and everything to do with people calling them on their Sh*&^ and holding them accountable.

    I like BluSKys idea of sending that buget to the school system.
