A national ban, you say.
Almost like that would benefit certain jet flying billionaires in times where they likely fear drones being used against them, and a government that will inevitability be using them to monitor and control the populace.
Isn't that what I said?
Please don't disturb state or national parks with drones.
In my city (toronto) there is a bylaw that no remote controlled vehicles are allowed. So, not only Drones, but RC planes and RC Cars. Oddly, its an old bylaw as well, was not written becuase of drones.
What's the actual bylaw? I'm very skeptical of your claim.

§ 608-19. Model aircraft and rockets. While in a park, no person shall operate powered models of aircraft, rockets, watercraft or vehicles unless authorized by permit.

Thanks for the citation. That's pretty garbage tbh..at least it's define to parks so you can legally step outside the park grounds and presumably be safe. Lol
There's also weight restrictions for our airspace in tornto becuase CYYZ is a bravo class airspace.
One might argue that a quadcopter is not a model of any aircraft.
The gov will def give you a legal straight to tha moon 😵😵💫
-- Quote from man who was shot
Who says it isn't some government employee doing it to justify a national ban? Police do this all the time during protests so that they can come in and shoot people in the face with rubber bullets and tear gas canisters for exercising their rights.
I have no clue what these are, and idk if you are from the area, but these have been everywhere and all over multiple states for weeks now. I hear they are the size of cars, and idk much about the hobby but is that a normal size for hobbyist? Considering how many there are every night I just feel like there is no way this is some idiot messing with this and is something else, but until they track one down or finally decide to take one down to find out more I have no clue what's going on.
I've been diving into this for a bit. I fly myself I have a home built dead at and a DJI.
There appear to be multiple things at play here.
First, I'd like to point out this happened in New Jersey last year from November until December 23rd. If you search news articles you can find it.
Next, people are taking videos of helicopters and fixed wing jet liners in the distance and freaking out. I strongly suspect this is most of the distant out-of-state stuff.
Next, pretty much everything in videos is running with their navigation lights on. Whoever's doing it either wants to be seen or doesn't want to disobey FAA rules. (Not aliens, not Iran, not China)
Next, a woman took a picture over Jersey City a few days ago where the clouds were all red green blue in a massive way. This was most certainly a hired swarm.
Next, and most of the videos were you're seeing small quadcopter style craft, They all have that hazy yellowish look to them. I'm betting their part of the RGB swarm.
Next, people are flip-flopping in the reports between the drones being the size of a car and the drones being the size of a regular recreational drone, well it's harder to see the size of things in the dark, porque no los dos.
Next, in one of the videos the drone went overhead and there was a clear turbine wine.
Next, there have been sightings over secure installations and over Trump's own golf course. If it's not us doing it it would be a much bigger deal.
Next they're telling us that there's no harm or ill intent. That's not a lip service kind of thing, If they didn't know they'd be shooting them out of the sky. They know what they are.
My primary suspicion is that the government/a musk related corporation is testing a new vertical takeoff autonomous vehicle. Maybe they're running tests before the inauguration in case there's insurgency, maybe they're just doing it because they're excited to play with new contracts and new toys. I think someone is hiring a pyrotechnic company to spread out a drone swarm to run interference. They're not technically doing it in areas where they're going to get in trouble or where it's against FAA rules but they're close enough to cause panic. And FAA reactions
My secondary suspicion would be that they're going to use this to put us into martial law in January.
Yeah blame the little guy for inconveniencing your life instead of the ruling class. Play into their hand, silly wage slave.
Still blaming the little guy.
It’s not both. It’s them. When they ban drones, just keep flying your drone.
