I applaud this challenge to the FAA's overreach. 🔥🔥🔥

[@jerseyshoredroneservices225]

I've made it halfway through the video so far. Until now I didn't realize how much of a government surveillance program RID was intended to be. I wish I could go back and edit my comments on the proposed rule. A real big thank you to the people who spotted these issues and have been working on this case all along!

[@montithered4741]

This isn’t surveillance, nor an invasion or violation of privacy.

​@@montithered4741yes it is

[@JayHelms]

[@pmh1nic]

Thank you for shining the light on the many legal issues you have identified with the RID legislation. I think the majority of folks would view idea that the FAA should have control over the airspace above an individual's backyard below the tree line to be a major overeach of government control and recording those flights a breech of privacy. Appreciate you fighting the go!of fight.

[@dirtcurt1]

It will be interesting to see the stats over the years if it is any safer with ADSB. I totally understand your position. When the Government starts charging by the mile for flight taxes, you let us know how you feel. My county already monitors all of the aircraft in our area with tracking software. Back to safety, what is safer, looking inside or outside the cockpit?

[@w.e.s.]

Don't register it don't put the module on it. Cheaper to loose it then get fined...

[@TwoHams]

I have a strong feeling in the next 5 years or so there will be a big fight over UAVs and the first amendment. Protests and stuff that you would want to record out of brick throwing range, but the cops being very upset even though you have the right to film them anywhere. Surely the freedom of the press would include filming from above.

[@oneofthesixbillion]

As a person using RC since the 70s, this level of surveillance and regulation is extreme overreach. At the very least I think under 750 grams and under the height of surrounding trees or buildings (where planes would never be) should not require any registration nor surveillance at all. My other belief is that registration and surveillance should be restricted to commercial use and has no place for recreational users. What they have now is preemptive enforcement. Rather than regulation and surveillance for all users, they should just make laws on what is specifically of concern. Things like not in other peoples yards, not over public gatherings, not in aircraft airspace, not above certain heights. You make a law and pursue those who violate that law, not regulate and surveil every user everywhere. What they're doing is downright authoritarian.

[@J.C...]

And 95% of people won't stay below buildings and treetops. I mean...we have police that watch for speeders and pretty much every car on the road still speeds. You think they'll follow the law if nobody's watching? 🤣🤣🤣🤣It'll never happen unless they're less than 8 or 9 years old.

There are a lot of parallels here to what the ATF is doing with guns and accessories with respect to overreach.

[@prolegacy9501]

Thanks for all the work you guys do! I just bought a drone and found out about all the government overreach! The abuse of power needs to stop, I donated $50 for the good cause! Keep up the good work! Also, does anyone know if we are required to register our drones or its not mandatory?

[@ruffrideralec]

If I understand these ridiculous laws correctly, any drone being used commercially (to make money) MUST be registered with the FAA. Also, and this is where I get confused, but as I understand any drone weighing 250 grams or more even if being used for recreation, must be registered with the FAA. I'm confused because if I as a 12 year old kid walk in a store and purchase a drone, go to the park directly from the store, how am I to liable to the FAA for not following regulations that I am un-aware of? For years remote control hobbyist flew RC aircraft without having to register with the FAA. All of a sudden there's a tremendous danger in the skies with drones! I haven't heard of one instance in the 6 years I've been flying, that a drone has collided with a plane or caused a near accident with the exception of Aug 25, 2021 - According to a recent report, a student pilot and a flight instructor landed safely after a mid-air collision with a police-operated drone. I'm sure a google search would reveal examples. I just did a quick check and there is 1 case in which a drone collided with a plane (in the US) causing minor damage.

[@prolegacy9501]

@@ruffrideralec Thank you for the response and you are correct. If it weighs over 250 grams it would have to be registered which I think its obserd since almost all good quality drone weigh over 250 grams. Definitely government overreach and a business to collect money. I did speak to a police officer friend though and they mentioned that police are a bit hazy on these new laws and their priority is more on serious crimes. So I guess it's better to be on the safe side though and register it just in case but I agree, it's ridiculous.

Additionally, it is improper to require an ID from a citizen who is not suspected of a crime.

[@fatdaddy-viii-8672]

since 1990, here's my 2 cents worth. I've been in and out of general aviation since 1989 when I got my private pilot cert. I have around 660hrs in SEL acft. I am an IFR rated pilot and I was a CFI having taught about a dozen pilots. I currently hold a Part 107 cert for the occasional drone job. I'd like to believe the FAA will be successful in the drone remote ID business. However, I think they will fail in rather spectacular fashion. 1st off, has anyone tried lately to contact a FSDO office lately? I have, and had very little luck getting anyone to return my inquiries. This is still due to working from home for Covid IN 2023! JEEZ! GET BACK IN THE OFFICE! 2nd point is the shear number of drones being sold. There will be so many new remote ID drones that the FAA will be overwhelmed! If the FAA thinks they have a problem, now just wait until Sep 16th. Then they'll learn what real problems are!

[@thetacticalape8852]

Awesome work here RDQ. This whole idea is a massive overreach by the government. Stock up on parts and build your own. I just don't see anyone with common sense complying.

[@steeltoad1680]

I'm glad this popped up.

[@vangazmicvoyage5077]

Rupprecht is saying that you have a reasonable expectation of privacy at a public ball field. That argument will fail. The Supreme Court has already ruled that there is NO expectation of privacy in a public place. Not sure that I would want him representing me in court.

[@montithered4741]

Glad to see someone else knows there is no reasonable expectation of privacy in public space or if viewable from public space (including airspace). As far as communication privacy is concerned, the message and content have a reasonable expectation of privacy; BUT the metadata doesn’t. The signals broadcast don’t have a reasonable expectation of privacy.

FAA needs to be sued for ADSB tracking in full size aircraft as well. It’s the same thing involving tracking with easy access to owner of aircraft identification.

[@jamesebdon1212]

The primary use of ADSB is for Air Traffic Control to see General Aviation aircraft along with altitude and speed to better control aircraft that they may not be able to see. Also some GA aircraft are getting advanced ADSB equipment to detect close aircraft and avoid being on a collision course with another plane. Also ADSB is used as a tool for search and rescue, as well as aircraft crash investigation. So you suggest shutting off ADSB and let the aircraft have a mid air collision just so there is more privacy. I don't think that has much traction, and it doesn't make sense.

Is the new FAA Remote ID rule for all remote controlled aircraft or are drones being singled out? There are many types of UAV’s out there, every remotely controlled airborne vehicle should have to be equipped with a remote ID beacon not just drones. Why are drones the scapegoat in this new ruling?

[@antonnym214]

The first thing I thought of when I saw that ridiculous remote ID idea was that it's an infringement on our first amendment rights to freedom of press; in the same way that restricting public photography is the same type of infringement. AND it's an invasion of privacy too, with regard to its effect on the fourth amendment.

Sounds like they're using the GPS location, storing data. And whatnot as almost a route around. Getting warrants to collect information in such. Because you are forced to have your GPS Data. Give them to them. You can't opt out of it by saying no I don't want my GPS location transfer to anybody. I don't want that information stored for any. Of time. But nope, that's what it's all. 4 is just another means to find a way to prosecute people. To make money, cause that's what it's all about. Money, remember all the businesses wanna do drone delivery. And that's part of why they're gonna do this. And then eventually once they get that in place. They're just gonna start giving you specific areas. And that's the only place you'll be allowed to fly. Because then everywhere else will be drone delivery air space, which will be owned by large corporations. In the FAA roll out it. Because corporations will give them lots and lots and lots and lots of money does like I said it's all about money.

[@zachbredeson7976]

First, personal flyers in certain things. We don't need this c*** It doesn't matter what you do even with the remote. ID you're still gonna have people that are gonna fly. Whether they're not supposed to, it doesn't matter on top of the fact that you have some of these GPS control, so what if the system inside fails, and it just goes in flies and one direction, and it doesn't stop until it runs out of battery and crashes and yours you. Can't do anything with your remote. So that's another problem with Ramon ideas. Then you're gonna charge that man with the crime. When the machine itself had a failure and was doing whatever it chose to do. And you had no control because there was a malfunction. Can you go to make a man a criminal out of a machine having a malfunction?

Agreed Is that navigable airspace or is it preparation for remote commercial bots that deliver stuff to our homes? Would realtime milliwatt non recorded generic ISM beacons be acceptable without any ID?

My common answer is if an aircraft hits it it was already crashing and outside human control except within 1000 meters of active airports!

One of my big concerns with the FAA is the issue of fines. In order to operate legally, we have to register with the FAA. I feel that violators of the FAA laws (when they become constitutionally created) should result in, first the temporary or permanent revocation of the registration which gives us the right to operate. Only if someone insist on operating without a valid registration should those huge fines enter consideration. No one should have to fly legally while having those ridiculous fines hanging over one's head. In my opinion, those fines are intended to dampen our interest in this hobby. NOTE: I was not able to view this video because of other commitments, so this issue may well be already on your minds.

[@electronsmove]

A drone is fully or partially automatous, an RC quad copter is not a drone. Stop calling RC a drone. FAA already says an RC can not be operated outside the vision of the operator. Drones can/do operate outside the vision of the operator. Like military drones operating in middle east and controlled from California. This ID law is to stop people from delivering drugs inside prisons and spying anonymously for example. Now with ID law, the RC when found doing something illegal can be captured and queried to see who is responsible and where the device has been, and who owns it. Operating in public is not the same as operating on private property. Laws are always behind technology. The government and LEO want all control and they push the laws that give them more control. Unless you build it yourself, the new ones probably have the tracking and ID built in. Your car, your cell phone and everything with a network connection is already spying and reporting on you. I would not be surprised if the remote ID can also be used to shut the device down or even take over control and retrieve the device. After one youtuber mounted a pistol on a quad copter and showed it target shooting, the FBI confiscated the device and the FAA reclassified all RC aircraft as civilian aircraft, and it is illegal to weaponize a civilian aircraft. Then the FBI charged the owner under this law that was not in effect when he built it. You have only the rights the government wants you to have and they are revoked without warning, often on the spot.

Does the FAA have the authority from congress to change regulations? This is similar to the ATF and EPA overstepping their authority and making up new rules or modifying rules that would result in converting law abiding citizens to criminals.

[@jeffissimo1221]

The unfortunate reality here is that the plaintiffs are conflating individual protections guaranteed by the constitution and the systematic integration of an aircraft in the nation's airspace. The constitution doesn't protect aircraft operating in the nation's airspace. Aircraft are required to stay in radio contact with ATC and commercial aircraft of 10 passengers or more are required to have traffic collision avoidance systems that broadcast their position to other receivers. Supporting both systems is radar. The drone reporting system is the only way to ID these drones and this is based on a limitation of the drone technology based on the drone's physical size. If the drone was larger, the FAA could simply require the same onboard systems that conventional aircraft would be required to have on board and broadcast from.

[@montithered4741]

ADS-B is also being included on drones.

[@zonk1477]

Yeah it makes zero sense and is not needed for line of sight since you can move out of the way of a aircraft when flying drones and RC planes. However if you want to fly a drone outside of your line of sight then it should be required to broadcast to things nearby that it's there so nothing hits it.

[@AECRADIO1]

The FAA is not a constitutionally recognized agency, holding no lawmaking authority, illegal to write or enact laws. 'Rules' are not law, and can not be enforced as a law.

They have no right - to tell us what we can, and cannot do, under the trees.

The government, Congress, DOT, FAA are empowered by the US Constitution to regulate pretty much everything thanks to activist SCOTUS judges.

I have no issue with remote ID but i do take issue withnit being made available to the public. It should be limited to the FAA and local law enforcement with a warrant.

[@charlenemyers188]

The ID is like a vehicle license plate and can only be linked to an individual by law enforcement for cause. Bad drone actors made this ID system necessary .

[@zakariyarahman2300]

What The FAA should do. Instead of making everyone of us . Use the remote id. Should go after those who illegally fly where there is no flying, like over government buildings, police activities , or over people private property and make them registered like a sex offender.and leave everyone else alone

all this over an overpriced toy?

Props to the responsible ADULTS in this comment section and waa waa to all the childish anti government trolls. These cry babies want no regulation yet cry when something happens to them. I live the child attorney taking this guys money on this ludacris lawsuit. Trust me I work with attorneys and that attorney knows he is full of crap and is laughing all the way to the bank. Drones need to regulated because there are irresponsible operators out there who care nothing about others safety. Hilarious video from a paralegal's stand point. Lol

Give a mouse a cookie, and he will want a glass of milk. Anti government is irrelevant. When you give one right over another is when you shall be concerned with. Hegelian Dialectic. Please be eduMaKated
