San Jose Police Department says FAA can't regulate its drone use
Newly published documents show that the San Jose Police Department (SJPD), which publicly acknowledged Tuesday that it should have “done a better job of communicating” its drone acquisition, does not believe that it even needs federal authorization in order to fly a drone. The Federal Aviation Administration thinks otherwise. (arstechnica.com) 更多...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
The FAA needs to get it ass in gear. That said, flying is flying. If there is no order it's not gonna be pretty. Cops and municipalities are not exempt.
I think they may find that the FAA has more power than they think they do.
If the FAA is going to show they are in charge of the airspace, they need to come down hard now, otherwise they won't have a leg to stand on later.
Faa thinks otherwise, me too. Drones and airliners don't mix.
Don't mix well with Cessnas either.
Well, right wrong or indifferent, there have been exceptions granted but this piece out of the story kinda sums it up “The newly disclosed documents raise serious questions about whether the police department did its homework before spending money on a drone that it cannot even legally use,” Catherine Crump, a law professor at the University of California, Berkeley, told Ars. “But more broadly, it is worth asking why the federal government is dispensing taxpayer money to local police departments to purchase equipment that the FAA has so far largely banned out of concern for public safety.” One Hand vs. the other.
