This is the latest news out of New York City Concerning the Flying of Drones…

As Ben Franklin said, ""Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, are making a wise compromise."

That is not what Franklin said. The quote is: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." Even if you stating it as a measure of sarcasm, someone reading without knowing the original quote might mistake it for the actual one.

Gesh ridiculous, Gotta pay a fee to fly here , got to pay a fee to fly there , got to pay a fee because these darn city suck the fun out of everything by charging you to death, never mind even trying to get a permit that will take 3 months to get approved. I'm glad I kept my mini2 with the original Device and Fly app. Hmm does that make it a burner drone?

got to pay a fee to fly there

I was desperately surprised that the projected budget for New York State in 2025 is over $250 Billion, that is a Quarter of a Trillion Dollars… The entire budget for the entire United States is only projected to be $7.5 Trillion and I know the farmers, the truck drivers, and Mom and Pop stores and so many more of the upstate folks are not benefitting from that. I grew up in the Adirondack Mountains and we never saw any of that kind of expenses, but we sure saw the taxation…

When I first started to follow the NYC Drone permit program, the applications was a non-refundable $150 fee, have the courts ruled that is unconsciencable cash grab?
