The issue is primarily personal safety. Broadcasting people's location to anyone with a cellphone is just a bad idea. Perhaps a technology demonstration is in order? We get all the DJI brass, along with advocates for this proposal, to broadcast their exact location 24/7. The public gets a "DJI Brass Monitoring App" where we get alerted to their ID, presence, & precise location, in real time, whenever they are near. Just in case customers want to stop by to say "Hi!" or get an autograph.
Also it isn't just the drone that will attract criminal interest. It's everything the typical pilot has with them while flying. Drone (perhaps multiple), camera, cell phone, tablet, wallet, cash, credit cards, vehicle. Not too shabby just for following the nice DJI app to a pilot's secluded location.
Again your going down the ridiculous route, this is a privacy matter, it doesn’t need this fear mongering, you seem to ignore the fact that you vehemently speak out against fear mongering regarding problems or accidents regarding drones, this is very similar, like how many people have been mugged for thei drones had their camera equipment stolen wallets stolen left for dead, you have no proof you don’t even have anything to measure this by, all you have is your need to believe the hysterical fear mongers, who offer nothing except to say if the criminals know where you are they will attack leave you for dead for your drone, hogwash I’ve been hawking lots of camera gear around for years and there are literally thousands who do the same in my country their not hard to find but apart from a few burglaries photographers are not targets for criminals, yet the carry huge amounts of equipment .
Why are photographers not targets they live and work in the open
Why are mountain bikers not targets they operate on known trails easy targets and cycle bikes costing 1000s $
So many hobbyists doing so many things with so much valuable equipment in the open under the noses of criminals but they are not targets.
But you claim that drone users will become huge targets of criminals for drones that well at least 80% will be worth $1800 New on the black market for parts $200 , it really doesn’t add up.
Of course criminals target many of the areas above but it’s not an epidemic and the chances of it happening to anyone is minute and if people want to put their energy into stopping FAA implementing this the criminal conspiracy would be bottom of any barrel for those lobbying. |
