They always sell it also. They sell the need. Under current laws it is illegal to fly near airports without permission and clearance. There is not a single government agency that has EVER said they don't need as much power as they have. They often say that without the new power, they can't do...

That rule WAS illegal. The AMA took my money, they should have been fighting this. We pay them for representation. It shouldn't take a private citizen to use his own money to fight an illegal rule! The next one won't be illegal, but that one was! I see this more as a government that...

I want to post the court arguments because the law is the law. If we are supposed to follow the law, then the government must also follow its own laws. Courts may not make laws. Judges may only interpret the current laws, not legislate Presidents may not make laws. They can make executive...

Looks like I was right..... I had no doubt they would win, because I KNEW the order was illegal! I knew based on reading the law. The AMA knew also, but the old farts that manage it have no will to fight. They probably are too busy falling asleep at the meeting tables... I have no issue...

Thanks guys for resurrecting this thread! I had decided this board was a waste of time... Well, well well... Interesting how everyone was so critical of myself and others for posting negatively about the FAA registration for hobby drones. This, and it seems that the order was IN FACT illegal...

Sorry, it has been a while since I came here. It was in Carroll County, MD

I am glad you are on here getting your questions answered, but it is SCARY that you are launching something in the air that you don't understand! If you are in the US, you need to fly line of sight. Which means you need to control it via looking directly at it. 1 to 2 miles away is NOT line of...

Welcome to the internet.... That is how things are. It is like sitting around ragging about how stupid society is. There isn't much anyone can do about it. It is pointless to rage about it. I for one get tired of seeing people say " search is your friend"... I search things out, but...

There are a lot of a-holes out there! That means both drone operators and non flyers as well. It makes sense to be nice and respectful, but occasionally, you have to stand your ground. It really doesn't matter what you are doing, you are going to run into hostile people. Like some said, you...

I imagine it is easy to read the exif data, but it is just interesting that facebook collects the location. They COULD say it is to put up advertisements in your area... However, it is known that Facebook worked with Darhpa on a thought control experiment by putting up certain kind of news...

I thought it was interesting that when I post a picture on facebook, that it knows exactly where the picture was taken.. It is obvious the gps coordinates are encoded into the exif picture data, but it is interesting that facebook can read it! Just noticed...
