Humm.....since i live in Europe, we don`t have a "aggressive" authority like in USA....however, it will be a matter of time, legislation came out also here...

In this case, quad`s + air planes fires, i think we should n`t use them because others plans fighting on lower altitudes...
We could however user our services with the fire-fighters, and give a new insight on the fires, if they accepted, of course...

However...
One day a notice a video, of a house burning and someone using a quad to record it. At certain part of the video, a fire-fight instead of concentrate of fight the fire, use the water to try to catch the quad...
My vision as a European, is of a great stupidity and immaturity....but, yey, im European and do not live in a "authority" "regime" like USA.....

Normally, here prevails the sense common.......

Sorry my bad English...

Someone should warn homeland security that cars can be used in attacks. Oh wait, they have been.

The U.S. Govt. are the only ones killing people with drones. Maybe it's a case of guilty conscious?

My wife calls me jerk every time I buy a new drone. Granted she usually has a sideways smile on her face but still.
Does that qualify under the current definition of a "drone jerk" ?? [emoji16]

I'm not sure of what they are doing these days, I think the Drones used for peaceful protection in other countries for the U.S are slightly different than the we quads/drones we use. I could be wrong and out of date though. Having the addons that their drones have would be interesting
