There is nothing stopping them. Worst the FAA can do it confiscate the drone. But by then, you’ve already got the footage.

Another option: News media camera rides in a law enforcement helicopter. Call it a law enforcement intelligence operation with ‘embedded media’.

One thing for sure: With this number at one time, someone had BETTER keep and eye on this - I don’t care WHAT the fed says about it.

just my $0.02

Thanks for reply DesertRino.

Justice Joseph Story, in his Commentaries on the Constitution, had agreed with you that many things are related to commerce, Story mentioned "intimately connected."

The problems is that Story also warned that when Congress starts regulating things that are tangent (my word) to commerce, then the Constitution's Article I, Section 8 limits on Congress's powers become meaningless.

"The question comes to this, whether a power, exclusively for the regulation of commerce, is a power for the regulation of manufactures? The statement of such a question would seem to involve its own answer. Can a power, granted for one purpose, be transferred to another? If it can, where is the limitation in the constitution? Are not commerce and manufactures as distinct, as commerce and agriculture? If they are, how can a power to regulate one arise from a power to regulate the other? It is true, that commerce and manufactures are, or may be, intimately connected with each other. A regulation of one may injuriously or beneficially affect the other. But that is not the point in controversy. It is, whether congress has a right to regulate that, which is not committed to it, under a power, which is committed to it, simply because there is, or may be an intimate connexion between the powers. If this were admitted, the enumeration of the powers of congress would be wholly unnecessary and nugatory. Agriculture, colonies, capital, machinery, the wages of labour, the profits of stock, the rents of land, the punctual performance of contracts, and the diffusion of knowledge would all be within the scope of the power; for all of them bear an intimate relation to commerce. The result would be, that the powers of congress would embrace the widest extent of legislative functions, to the utter demolition of all constitutional boundaries between the state and national governments [emphases added]." —Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2:§§ 1073--91

Thomas Jefferson advised us to interpret the federal government's powers narrowly since the Constitution can always be amended to expand the fed's powers.

"In every event, I would rather construe so narrowly as to oblige the nation to amend, and thus declare what powers they would agree to yield, than too broadly, and indeed, so broadly as to enable the executive and the Senate to do things which the Constitution forbids." --Thomas Jefferson: The Anas, 1793.

Good post. And in this case, we must remember first of all. The reason the FAA issued this TFR was to prevent widespread knowledge of what the DC putsch government is doing to our nation.

It’s not a true concern of interstate commerce and normal regulatory function. It is a coverup of government corruption.

The US citizens are asleep and ignorant to what is happening to our country. They are totally compliant on major media and our current government.

Trusting government, experts and those with journalistic credentials is often the first recourse of the doomed.

The TFR looks to only go up to 1000'.
A good drone could go higher than that. Notice the plane, "DEVIL54" was at 3100'.

How about a camera on a balloon? A kite? What “security “ purposes justify this restriction?

The restriction is obviously political.
