We already have laws for the miscreants of society and they are managed by the relative 'keepers of the peace' wherever you happen to live and you are admonished accordingly. In this case, if you don't follow dji's instructions you will be 'punished', most people will be fine with this, others not in a position to do so for whatever reason and others despise having their freedom to chose diminished. We are talking about a relatively expensive hobby that people bought into at face value for their own reasons and expect that that point of sale experience continues. A little bit hysterical you might say but you are certainly aware of data mining?
I think you are not aware that terrorist in the Middle East are using DJI drones and the restriction is been in place to control the behavior of these animals with their attacks to innocents. This is one way, another way is government restrictions. If you want freedom, don't blame DJI, blame your government for creating restrictions in place. The only thing DJI is trying to do is make their business cooperate with authorities. The main point in here is government controlling our hobby and DJI is just following the rules. Nothing wrong with that at all just lack of freedom from the FAA.
I am fully aware of drones being used in the Middle East along with nerve gas, cluster and barrel bombs, indiscrimate torture and murder and if the so called government(s) involved with the conflict were able to set aside their long term goals, it would have finished years ago.
laughs... in the worst way, but also the best if you are on the right side. The common sense way and the regard for others is the right side. I didn't need the govrnment, FCC, or any three letter agencies to tell me which way I need to be pointed. It's not a wonder to be able to tell what needs to be done in life, it may take some thinking to know... but right is right in any language.You sir are a rogue.......
The point it's we need to follow the rules and that is what make our hobby possible. Like it or not we are under FAA restrictions and that's the whole point of this thread.
I remember watching it on TV in Australia and we being the great unwashed convicts, had never seen anything like it, and had no idea of what was going on. Strange days indeed. As for being managed by electronic surveillance, happens all the time, my concerns are losing control over what you can and cannot do and not having the option to opt out unless i remain on the current software/hardware. I fly responsibly and ride my irresponsibly over the top motorbike and can a manage it as an adult.
Agree. This gets into the whole 'sheeple' thing for me. I'm an advocate for responsibility on the individual. That and common sense goes a long way.
That article seems as misguided as many of the guesses and conspiracies being spread on forums.
