Not to sidetrack, but as a firearms owner all I can say is (loudly) YES.
Yeah, The sky is falling and it's gonna fall right on top of us. For every one negative drone report that I see on TV or hear of, there are 5 positive ones of drones doing good innovative things.
If that was true, why did he target homeowner pools?
And because people like this guy, drone regulations are becoming stronger and more difficult for people actually following the rules.
Yep
I don't think so. If someone walked by the hotel pool and tossed a bag of dye over the fence, would legislation be passed to make tossing of objects from your hand illegal? It's already illegal to drop objects from a drone, a balloon, a plane, or a helicopter to vandalize or destroy someone's property, we really don't need a special drone law for this? What would end up is a bunch of honest drone flyers breaking a new law and getting punished while criminals continue to dye, the law wouldn't stop them. Sorry if I missed the sarcasm.
That doesn't stop lawmakers from making new laws, though. Lots of things are illegal, yet somehow new laws find their way on the books to make things illegal-er.
So true and I try to push back but so often it comes across as seen trying to protect the criminal as if I think less of what this guy has done. I hate what he has done but I cannot accept higher fines and more laws, respectfully.
One of the things I learned studying classical history is that the more frequently laws/edicts were promulgated against a behaviour, the more common the behaviour was. (Because there's no need to prohibit something people aren't doing.) It's one of the ways historians estimate 'crime' levels in the past.
