That's every one of these livestream/podcast style videos. 10 minutes of worthwhile content and 1-2 hours of filler.it got off to too much of a slow start for me ...and is too long to keep my interest...
That’s what most of these videos do. I don’t even bother to click on them. What’s going to happen is going to happen. We will deal withTaking a second glance at the OP it seems as though the video was made just to stir the pot....look at the title
"FAA sued for Illegal Remote ID"...it's not illegal....at this time
It's just the part that the location of the Pilot can be accessed by anyone. Pilots are protected in airplanes, just by not being on the ground and also by being in secured cockpits. Drone pilots will have no security when flying. There is still significant animosity from the general public toward drone pilots. Some pilots have been confronted with gun toting maniacs. I personally, don't want to feel, I may be approached by a "drone hater" when I am doing something completely legal and innocent. I don't mind the other parts of the remote id, but for EVERYONE to know your location is wrong. Legally though, the whole thing is questionable. I'm also concerned with how much weight and cost these ID modules will add to drones. If you would be against remote ID for cars, you should be against it for drones. Can you imagine if you cut some aggressive driver off and he/she could find out where you lived, just by looking at an app on a phone?I know I am going to get flack for this ...and maybe I don't know enough about RID.....but it sounds to me that other than the ID being available to any one who want to seek it out...if you are a responsible drone flyer...there really is nothing else bad about it...if that part were eliminated ...I can't see any reason to object to it...I started to watch the video, but it got off to too much of a slow start for me ...and is too long to keep my interest...I am not looking for arguments with any one...but I am curious why some are so opposed to it...it seems to me that if you are flying responsibly....there is no reason to object to it
I don't have the knowledge that alot here have when it comes to remote ID. and all the pros and cons that it brings. But I do not want to be bothered by no one when I'm flying commercially or recreationally or worse get hurt or dead.It's just the part that the location of the Pilot can be accessed by anyone.

Everything in the new cars is logged. Very easy to get all GPS info from todays cars. Probably don't need to know if you were the one flying. It will log who owns the drone and fine the owner. You could say it was taken by a thief but where is the police report. LOL If they want to get you they will.The mention DATA LOGGING. Everything you do will be recorded and archived. This means the FAA will be able to fine you years after you broke a statute. Imagine, if everything in your car was data logged. I guess the only saving face, would be, THEY REALLY DON'T KNOW WHO IS or WAS FLYING at the time of an infraction.
All Teslas logs are updated through the internet. That's why Tesla when you buy there vehicles they give you free internet.Everything in the new cars is logged.

Imagine how bad it would be if manned aircraft flights were logged¡The mention DATA LOGGING. Everything you do will be recorded and archived.

Almost cars built since 1994 have black boxes in them that records your data.Imagine, if everything in your car was data logged.
I'm a hobbyist and fine with it. BUT, The idea of only the government agencies who make laws and have the funding to lobby for the laws get to have drones that can't be tracked!As previously reported, the ACLU, on 2/9/21, issued its position on Remote ID, and the ACLU is generally ok with it. I agree with that position. For one thing, I want to be able to legally fly BVLOS, and as the ACLU puts it, “a regulatory framework permitting routine BVLOS flights was never going to happen … until the law enforcement and national security communities are comfortable with their ability to identify and track” drones.
With regard to broadcast transponders that would broadcast their unique ID numbers locally to anyone within range, the ACLU said “We think this is good; the broadcast Remote ID should be sufficient to achieve both the security goal of allowing facilities to identify and deter illegal or hostile drone flights and the privacy goal of empowering individuals to know what aerial cameras may be recording them.”
The ACLU further said: “The FAA is doing a good job in building an infrastructure that will give us the ability to know what “eyes in the sky” are observing our streets, communities, and cities. While details still need to be worked out, the agency’s goal seems to be a system in which anyone can see the “license plate” of nearby drones on their cell phones."
I certainly have some issues concerning the safety of drone pilots and I anxiously await a definitive decision by the courts on these difficult issues.
