The 4G providers wouldn't allow us to connect without FCC approval first and I just don't see DJI even bothering to ask for FCC approval.  That just opens another avenue to say they are spying on us.

Even though they just got FCC approval for a new camera.

Again, I'm not sure the issue would be with the FCC but more so with the cellular carriers.  I'm just going on what I've read as this is outside my field of expertise.

Many of the areas are experiencing latency in cellular signals due to not having enough bandwidth and lack of up to date infrastructure. I'm lucky because my neighbor relented and leased 2 acres to a company to build a cell tower on it a couple of years back.  My cell provider uses that tower so I have strong signal strength and super fast speeds.

Geeksvana just put out a video saying its not legal to just buy and use in the UK either,   he says you need to get a licence and a special data plan from the mobile phone companies,  along with their permission.   Hes also calling out the YouTube (not by name) that say they are using spotters along a route which he believes doesnt count here.

Yeah, we can't use a string of spotters here either.  The FAA rule states "spotter" not "spotters".

Billy Kyle had spotters driving behind a long range drone flight watching the drone with another drone,    didnt seem right to me at the time.

Sometimes he has been known to bend the rules.

He made a point of saying his approach was legal at the time.    I was sceptical myself.

Personally, I try to always err on the safe side and not have to worry about breaking any gray area rules.

As a retired lawyer I'm a bit risk averse to breaking laws.  Judges have been known to give out maximum sentences to lawyers as they feel we should know better.

Is the same applied to law enforcement, other judges etc?

It's a bit of a mixed bag.  I've seen leniency on some  law enforcement but usually a judge gets hammered to the max to make an example of how well the judicial system works by not showing partiality.

So anyone that is responsible for implementing and enforcing the laws written by Congress should also get hammered too?

Not really,    the drone can easily already fly BVLOS so bro further distance is needed.
