IMHO, cop #2 has an authority complex. Looked like the situation had resolved until he stepped in to add the accelerant to a resolved situation. I hope FWB (thank you for your service) gets his drone upgrade courtesy of the Keystone.....I mean...
He was arrested for "contempt of cop" cloaked in "obstruction of an investigation" (though there was no crime to investigate) and their "qualified immunity". Happens way too often.
There is a huge difference between provoking and standing up for your constitutional rights. This guy was not provoking anyone. He was calm, articulate and had a clear understanding of his rights. They had the photo of his drone registration...
I Know in this neck of the woods he would have been told that its not ok to fly your Drone without a TRUST card (maybe he had it on his phone). I don't think the local police have any business policing federal laws tho, its not what I pay them...
mistakes on both sides, but the aggressive cop was a little dicktator.
Lesson 1) never fly without your TRUST/§107 certificate on hand.
Lesson 2) if flying near a stadium and an event is scheduled, land before the TFR goes into effect
Lesson...
