A Interesting read !

Sounds like a new and fun way to deter people from flying drones, regardless of purpose. Specially loved the part where you are not required to show injury to sue you.
Good read and thanks for the link MotorCycle-Man. It sounds to me like the ULC, like many others who oppose the use of drones are simply uneducated and afraid of what they don't know. Instead of learning about them they try to abolish them. Makes my yearly fees to the AMA all the more worth while to help combat the ignorance.
Another group chasing their dreams.
The way I rationalize this kind of bs is this. I was looking for a new hobby when I found this one. If it goes away, my sport bike is waiting to get its seat warmed up.

Less than what I have invested in DJI products.
Good sport bikes are under 10 thousand US dollars.
That’s a little steep for me at the moment. What about a cheap beginners used bike?
Yes interesting read MCM that's going to hurt alot,hope not happen ,,200ft we got some trees bigger than that like most country's,,wonder how that going to work,might be a few "black hawks down" if that comes to play.might make the phantoms cheaper lol,,thanks for posting
I'm trying to understand the actual reason(s) this was even proposed to begin with. Is it privacy concerns? Do people really believe drone pilots are a bunch of peeping toms? This all seems ridiculous to me. This proposed restriction seems to already be in place in Canada as we are legally required to be at least 250ft away from any person, vehicle, building. Altho I'm not sure who has the burden of proof here. This is the first proposal that I've seen that specifically states altitude though. Canada's rules say 250ft but they don't clarify if thats vertically or horizontally or a combination of both. Assuming its both then that would mean i have a legal flying altitude of between 250 and 300 ft (our max allowable height). These rules are stupid.
Never even heard of these boneheads until now.
Amazing what can crawl out of a crack when it’s not sealed off.
Given the unfounded hysteria about drones, I feel the best practice for drone pilots is to always ask before flying over, or launching from, any private or public property in an urban or suburban environment. Given the trend, my inclination is to keep my drone flying to areas with very low population density ... far out in the country. Too bad and very unfortunate.
