Well, that settles it.

This single feel-good anecdote clears the way for TOTAL SURVEILLANCE of the peasantry, 24/7/365

We should arm the savior-drones, too.

The man in this story was in danger from bean caterpillars, or sech-like.

If the cops can have ‘em, I want one. Or I get to shoot all the ones I see in the sky.

this genie is out of the bottle, they cannot ban or restrict drones when the price will soon be to the point where they are disposable. It will be as silly as trying to ban phone cameras.

A good way for ranchers and farmers to search for lost livestock.

I want the right to control photography of my land equivalent to the rights I have to control images of my face.

IOW not without permission.

First off, this is, in my mind, an acceptable use:
- It was not used in a populated area
- it was used ONLY for search and rescue
- it was NOT near controlled airspace
- and it was used wisely (No other UAS in the area to generate possible RF interference.

Where I have a HUGE problem is the knuckle draggers who think operating their UAS amongst buildings, in controlled airspace, amongst crowds or by following someone is OK.

Being an RC hobbyist for 30+ years, I see today's MORONS as a lethal threat with they way they arrogantly use UAS.

Some good news, for a change!

Drones can do amazing things.

Well, despite the tenor of our other FReepers' posts, I for one am glad that a volunteer using his personal resources got into the search and scored immediately, in helping a confused and possibly medically needy person get found and get help.

Kudos to our enterprising non-governmental, non-bureaucratic volunteer, our drone-flying Minuteman.
