‘No Drone Zone:’ Flight restrictions issued for 2023 Rose Parade

[BenLurkin]

Temporary flight restrictions will be in place from 7 a.m. until 2 p.m. for “special security reasons,” according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

The 134th Rose Parade Presented by Honda is scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. on Monday in Pasadena.

Unlike most years, the parade will be held on Jan. 2 to follow the parade’s “No Sunday” rule.

Drone restrictions will remain in place as fans make their way to the Rose Bowl for this year’s game between the Penn State Nittany Lions and Utah Utes, which begins at 2 p.m.

The FAA listed the following as some of the reasons for issuing a TFR:

Natural disasters such as wildfires and hurricanes

Certain major sporting events

Emergency or national security situations

A TFR restricts aircraft, including drones, from operating without permission in a certain area for a limited time.

Are laser pointers allowed?

What is needed is a wall crawling drone (not flying) to make a mockery of the restrictions.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

While the Rose Parade drone restriction is arguably a good idea given domestic violence in desperate Democratic-controlled activist states, it remains that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the non-elected bureaucrats running the constitutionally undefined FAA the specific power to tell citizens what they cannot do.

"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.

After all, the flying machine wasn't invented until long after Constitution was ratified, the Constitution never appropriately amended for such federal government powers.

In other words, FAA edict is an unconstitutional expansion of already unconstitutionally big federal government's powers imo.

• ”I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.” —James Madison, Speech at the Virginia Convention to ratify the Federal Constitution (1788-06-06)

• ”To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn around the powers of Congress, is to take possession of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible of any definition.” —Thomas Jefferson, Jefferson's Opinion on the Constitutionality of a National Bank : 1791

• ”The system of the General Government is to seize all doubtful ground. We must join in the scramble, or get nothing. Where first occupancy is to give right, he who lies still loses all.” —Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 1797.
