DJI/Customs issue and the NJ Drone silliness. Not related, but two parts of the video

[Vic Moss]

Trying to do my part in calming the NJ waters. I share more that I could in my live interview on The Bottom Line last night.

Also, some info on how we can quite possibly make a difference in the DJI/U.S. Customs issue. We can't make any difference if we don't try.

NJ Drone Silliness is a very accurate description, I live here and it is beyond ridiculous because it is everyday I receive emails, and texts on the subject from people who work with me and people who know I fly drones

Since November, I have seen vids of large drones and many copy cat sightings of airliners to and from local metro airports,
My response since day 1 has been this : It's either a US government entity or Local and State Law Enforcement, all three of which will likely not admit it's them. If it were an Adversarial Organization or Government like Iran as some ding dong Respresentative in my area claims to be, then someone is asleep at the DoD. Then we have the BS news organizations doing a disservice by hyping this up into a frenzy which in my humble opinion is terrorizing the folks who eat this up and yet I have not seen one of these drones harming anybody.

My 2 cents.

BTW, Vic, I just signed up with your Org.

So then you are okay with the federal government lying to the people of New Jersey and the world? That might sound silly to some. I have watched a long stream of New Jersey officials go on TV and tell the world we have a serious problem and concern and the feds are blowing us off which makes everything worse. These are serious minded people who are charged with safeguarding their communities. What would be their motive to lie? Or are you telling us that all New Jersey officials are incompetent?

"I'm from the government and here to help you"

LOL !

1. No, I am not OK with the Government lying to us, but they do.
2. There are many NJ Officals that are incompetent, not all.
3. The Government does not have the responsibility of protecting you, they protect themselves.
4. I have lived in NJ all my life, so I know a thing or two about my State Government, Senators and Reps included.
5. As of right now, Naval Air Station at LakeHurst, NJ is conducting flight tests of new drone technologies, so some of those sightings ( probably ) were of their drones.

Sounds like you put too much Faith in your Government, To each his own.

Okay. Got it.

How about the ones who witnessed the auto sized drones and those begging for federal transparency?

3. The Government does not have the responsibility of protecting you, they protect themselves.

If that is true then why argue with government employees who think your desire to own and fly the drone of your choice must give way to national security, trade or other interests?

Not sure if I am responding to your question correctly, but here goes...

The Military, and the 3 Branches of Our Government are first to be " protected " in a time of " REAL "national security issues, the rest of us are on "our own ". Now on the issue of drone ownership that may be eliminated for national security, that is another ballgame in which you and I have no control of , but we do have our State Representatives and Senators in which to communicate our concerns and grievances, win some, lose some.

I am ending my responses here because I believe this Thread is heading south, as it is starting to look like a P*ssing match, see you in another Thread.
