"Would You Opt Out of DJI's "Geo Fencing"...If You Could?"
Assuming that the drone has been bought for consumer use, this question is effectively asking if you would choose to break the law if you could. I am sorry, but I find your premise here insulting, disingenuous, and more than borders on inflammatory as well as slanderous. How dare you imply that if someone simply chooses to have full exercise over the use of their lawful property that they are a lawbreaker. If that is the best you have for an argument, then you have no argument, as all you have done is resort to name-calling. It is disappointing to say the least that you have to take an honest debate and drag it down to the level you have done, which is entirely unacceptable. You know nothing of me. Would it matter if you knew I were law enforcement, or a judge, or an employee of an airspace control agency? Since you do not know that, and cannot prove otherwise shows the weakness of your accusation, or is it your habit to accuse people of law enforcement and government as being lawbreakers too? Further, have you ever heard of the axiom about “assuming” things, if you have then enough said, if you have not decorum prevents me from explaining it to you, however, maybe you should educate yourself to it. Because you are comfortable in living under a nanny state environment where you have limited rights and no choice in how you use your hard earned property nor the ability to exercise its use as you see fit WITHIN the boundaries of your county’s laws don’t’ expect others to feel similarly. Many people on this planet cherish liberty and freedom. As a wise statesman once proclaimed, those willing to sacrifice liberty and freedom for security, deserve neither. I find it interesting that you would qualify your remarks about a purchase made for consumer purposes is somehow different from other purposes, which only further demonstrates your narrow view of this debate. What if a person purchased their product as a hobby and then found that there was a way to make a living with it as a private entrepreneur, then what. Oh gee, we are sorry, you see some country far away says you cannot do that without asking permission from them first, plus going through your own nation’s process too. If that alone doesn’t show the short coming of your argument I don’t’ know what does. It borders on pathetic, that someone is so willing to abdicate their freedoms to a corporation so willingly all under the assertion that somehow it makes the world a warmer and fuzzier place. Well I hate to break it to you, there are sheep, sheep dogs, and wolves, I do not intend to be a sheep, and my life has more than demonstrated that I am no wolf. Thankfully, the great Lord above gave us all the choice about how we chose to live our life, I would hope more choose wisely and refuse to be a sheep. Further, your speculation is amusing, you infer issues within the US, but yet you do not know. Last I checked if you are choosing to debate a point then maybe you should educate yourself first, you should reserve your uninformed comments until you know better. US airspace is well regulated, maybe too much so, and it is on par with any other nation on earth. If you knew anything about ICAO regulations, it appears you do not, you would know that the USA was a leader in developing airspace rules that are the foundation of ICAO procedures. The sovereignty of a nation is not up for negotiation; otherwise, you don’t have a nation, meaning each nation has its own rules, not international regulations. Sure most are based on international rule sets to ensure standardization but they still regulate it themselves, no other government, or foreign entity. Lastly, I find it utopianesk to think that all you have to do is “get the database correct and there should be no issues and air disasters should be avoided,” yes most assuredly and sprinkle some ferry dust around and we will solve world hunger and achieve world peace. In closing, I most adamantly protest your name-calling as an argument and find you wanting for a solid position from which to make your point. For the record I want full control over my property, the freedom to operate it as I choose “within the law,” and live my life in peace & freedom; I don’t expect that will happen, but I have spent my life fighting for that end for my God, my country, our allies, my family, and all people wanting liberty!
