FAA Toolkit Link for Law Enforcement

[AMann]

A useful link for those interested in seeing the information FAA is providing to law enforcement regarding public UAS.

It would be good to copy some of the materials here to hand out if you are ever encountered by a law enforcement officer who is interested and would like to learn more about drones, or while doing a drone demonstration for law-enforcement. It would help them to better understand their legal responsibilities regarding public UAS rules.

Watched the video, interesting that the cops are being told to use Common sense above all else and that the Peeping Tom laws will be there best use in private property. All in All no matter what we should respect whatever decision they make on any flight they consider a violation as its going to be reported to the FAA .

This is a good watch. Thank you for sharing.

One thing i was wondering do the Police have the ability to COA drone pilots with 107

I just edited my post above, make copies of the info card and other information to hand out to an LEO if needed in helping them understand their legal responsibilities regarding public UAS.

I just cannot see educating law enforcement the right thing to do by letting them know the laws, makes no sense to me that I would escalate as that video clearly shows they have the decision making process to decide what is good and what they feel is wrong.

maybe some law enforcement will chime in.

You mean like me? Ok, politely handing a brochure to a park ranger (like I was) or other law enforcement officer while chatting or doing presentations about drones would be highly appreciated by most. I wouldn’t shove it in their face while they are investigating an incident or trying to arrest someone though.

Ok i was taking it in a different context, thank you.

That’s OK, I guess how I wrote it above could be taken two different ways, but I certainly didn’t mean as a know-it-all under the situation you were thinking. That would tend to escalate the situation in a negative way !

Yikes, I see why you took that impression from what I wrote. I Edited it to fix that. Thanks for pointing it out.

NEVER be confrontational with officers Smith and Wesson! They will always win.

Just be respectful and chose the right time and place to educate LEOs. Respect gets respect — these guys and gals have a tough enough job. Try being a drone ambassador.
