Drones

Anyone flying one? Certainly provides a different perspective...

I want one... Better than the 12 gauge with "Dead Coyote" T shot.. The 'death ray' that can knock out drones from up to a mile away using radio waves http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3264166/The-drone-death-ray-knock-UAVs-mile-away-using-radio-waves.html

my preference would to ban drones all together. I think the risks (invasion of privacy, abuse by law enforcement, arming of drones, clutter in the sky) outweighs the benefits.

I saw on CNN online that a guy in Tennessee shot down a drone that was hovering over his backyard while his daughters were there. He was charged, in part I believe for threatening 4 people who came to his house afterwards. I haven't heard of this happening for a while. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Two airliners had drones flying close to them on approach in New York last week. Like many other things, they can have a positive use or can be used as well for evil. The report on the airlines said a drone could be constructed on 3D printer out of explosives. I am interested to see how policies changes as drones become more ubiquitous. Public policies often lag several years behind technology, so this would be a window on how drones could be used. The current FAA rules don't seem to match how some of the concerns.

Manni, if you weren't trying to pee on Lake-Link by pointing out it was an ad on L-L, I apologize Saw a fishing show recently where they did a "behind the scenes" segment on filming Alumacraft boats to make teir catalog. Was sorta interesting, and they used drones for a lot of the shots Show was Sportsman's Journal

I don't see ads on this site, same with many others, if they use blocking software. So they won't know that..

Tommy, That is an interesting question. I know "most" states already have laws that prohibit there use for hunting/fishing purposed (scouting, locating, and such). I wonder if there is an exception when used in a filming production of the said sport..??
