OK TO BE CLEAR BECAUSE SOME ARE NOT.
Go about 1 minute past the 13:50 mark and you will hear that the reason they were arrested was NOT FOR TRESPASSING. I agree that what Steel said about walking in because they have flown there in the past was not the smartest thing he's said but he happens to be super smart and he was contacted by the authorities because he was flying in an area that the FAA is determining put people at risk.
NOW, think of when you are flying at an empty park where you have flown a hundred times and someone in your comments section decided six months later to alert the FAA and then you were arrested for it because of a troll or hater that doesn't like you.
ALMOST every time you fly it could be said that you are "putting people at risk". THIS WAS THE REASON, not trespassing that the three were arrested. There was no base, there was no anything.
At best they should have got a warning for flying on private property even though the property (and they have stated so) have no problem with it.
They were arrested because of the CURRENT FAA regulations of "endangering people", not for flying too high, or over a base, or a sporting event.
Are you guys even watching the video or just commenting?
If you see their fpv videos... they were flying very close to building offices and private property and that's just illegal. If these buildings were abandoned, it will be different. These people don't use logic before flying their drones.
Again, the people that own the building were aware that they fly there and were fine with it. They weren't flying during working hours.
Take another gander at the video. Do you see cars? Do you see people? If they had permission to fly there and the FAA because of a commenters complaint arrested them for 3 days (they were in jail for 3 days 6 months after the video was taken), you don't think that's an overreach? If you do, we just have different views.
If so, you better remove any videos you have on YouTube where I can see a person even in sight because if I was to call the FAA, you could be arrested and possibly thrown in jail for a few days.
Of course Steel is a heavyweight and they were probably just trying to make a statement but if I can see a person in a video that you posted, you are in a worse position then they were because there wasn't a sole in sight and they have tons of videos flying there and they even have had races on that track. The people in building know all about Steel.
Be careful what you are wishing for because they were arrested for some bull.
