Mr. Taylor has won the first battle:
Court strikes down rule forcing toy drone users to register with govt
In this thread:
Friend of a Friend Fined $1800 no registration on drone..i have questions
I could never figure why everyone could not understand that Congress was specific in directing the FAA to NOT regulate hobby aircraft. I did still register though.
Thanks guys for resurrecting this thread! I had decided this board was a waste of time...
Well, well well... Interesting how everyone was so critical of myself and others for posting negatively about the FAA registration for hobby drones. This, and it seems that the order was IN FACT illegal just like myself and others said it was! How do we know, because this was struck down.....
I object to a government that can not follow it's own laws.
Now too bad the damage is already done... I knew this would happen.
See, now the government has everyone's information, and guess what? The government has proven incompetent to handle information. How do I know? Because of the MILLIONS of peoples data the government was supposed to be safe guarding for peoples security clearances and didn't protect. Information like peoples social security numbers, mothers maiden names etc...
Everything a criminal needs to open a fake account in your name.
Lawsuits should be filed, and people should loose their jobs for breaking the law.
Now for me, it no longer matters, as have my license. I never had an issue with giving my information and getting something in return like being able to use my drone for commercial purposes.
See what I objected to after reading the law was that there was one on the books clearly stating clearly that the FAA could NOT regulate hobby aircraft.
Two, that they did NOT allow the 60 day public comment period.
Now finally, John A Taylor won this. NOT THE AMA! So that is what your AMA membership has paid for. NOTHING!!!!
Finally, I am going to tell other people not to believe people like some posters here that tell you things are futile! That it is ridiculous to fight for what is right!
John A Taylor was fighting for your rights. I made a contribution to his legal fees.
The AMA seems to have done nothing. How about some change in AMA leadership? Maybe some younger men with some will to fight?
