New legislation may squeeze out DJI drones for departments, DFR programs, and hobbyists

Unsettling, will be reaching out to law makers. Keep up great work Greg & team.

Coming from the high country of Colorado, many of our "First Responder" drone search and rescue operations are conducted, or at least aided by, volunteers using their own equipment and financial resources. This act does nothing but hurt the very folks it supposedly protects. If Congress needs something to do, then they should incentivize American manufacturers to compete and not obliterate the only supply chain we have.

DFR programs.....where?

[@MotoCampAdventure]

Why did you freeboot a pilot institute video and post it like your own?

[@charleswerner5797]

PilotInstitute made this shorter version for DRONERESPONDERS to post. And DRONERESPONDERS is partners with PI.

This is insane. They shouldn’t be able to take something away that they have no replacement for.

[@cyclelaw9764]

This is insane what a bunch of political hacks trying to pinch dollars out of recreational drone pilots like things aren’t expensive enough as they are and what are you gonna do with all that money spend it on themselves like everything else leave us alone and let us fly

[@RetreadPhoto]

This is why we have a Senate of mostly professional, capable lawmakers, vs a bunch of largely local idiots in the House.

She, like 85% of them, are in someone’s pocket.

[@Mark-jb9hx]

The do nothing republicans aren't taking this anywhere. Just a dog whistle by Stefanik.

[@willia3r]

Can folks like you stop claiming that legislation will go nowhere and actually contact the legislators to stop the bill from going nowhere? Because this same stuff was said about the _American Security Drone Act_ before it passed. And guess what? It passed last year.

[@thomasmaughan4798]

Please oh please let Congress do nothing!

[@draganignjatov7291]

We gone fly 😂I don’t care🎮🛸

[@KR1IS]

laws laws and more bs laws , just go fly.

[@willia3r]

Please contact your U.S. Congress person and U.S. Senator in your state so that we can continue to fly. Thanks.

DJI is now a government actor. Bricked my drone . Need Trust certificate. Back door registration. FAA just took the fun out of it.
