Uping the penalty for flying in areas most any responsible drone owner would not fly without permission. Felony for violation, getting serious.

I agree. Reason for the law... Eastman employees a lot of people and they pay a lot of taxes. Money does buy laws.I find it difficult to believe that Eastman is "critical infrastructure."
I sure hope the legislation applies to ALL aircraft and not just drones. If we are creating rules for aircraft, they should apply to everyone, not just a "special class."Uping the penalty for flying in areas most any responsible drone owner would not fly without permission.

Just my opinion small plane pilots are not the risk takers that drone pilots are. As a photographer there is so much I want to photograph or video I truly don’t know how long I can stay within the law. It sure would be nice to have a few days each year that drones could fly in the state and national parks. I was in downtown Nashville, TN last Wednesday evening shooting street photography and look up there is a drone all over the place near building flying over people and streets with cars and people and almost dark. I am sure he was wanting some light trails and cool shots no one elseI sure hope the legislation applies to ALL aircraft and not just drones.

Here in the USA Our laws are because of actions of minority that could care less about law of the land but cover majority of law abiding citizens sad state of affairs indeedseems like in the future drones will be banned, here in canada can't fly here can't fly there , everywhere you want to be able to fly your drone, seems like country's are intent on killing the hobby, most of us fly with with common sense, i wish these lawmakers would understand this.
That's sort of how laws work everywhere. The majority of people in any country aren't thieves, rapists, murders or tax cheats.Here in the USA Our laws are because of actions of minority that could care less about law of the land but cover majority of law abiding citizens sad state of affairs indeed
....Also I thought only the FAA controlled the air space. Cities can prohibit take off, control of or landing of a drone in a city park but not flying over it - correct? How does this allign with the FAA?............
Welcome to today’s drone “Community“Making someone a felon without actually showing some actual harm occurred is an all-too-common but still terrifying development
