Drone Falls Dangerously Out of Sky; Local News Station Reveals What It Had Been Filming
Whoops!

A small drone obtained by a local Florida news station is revealing just why some have privacy — and safety — concerns regarding the ever expanding use of such surveillance technology by both the government and hobbyists.

WKMG-TV, covering the Orlando area, reported one if its reporter finding a RC aerial vehicle that fell out of the sky after losing control and crashing into a tree. The news station was able to obtain more than two hours of footage that was taken by the attached GoPro camera, revealing what the drone had been observing before its fall.

Oh please. Yet another media twisting of facts to achieve a pre-desired outcome. Any "tweaking" of current law is simply to make it illegal for private citizens to attach cameras to their RC planes/helicopters. Of course, the local police and the feds will be able to use drones with absolutely no conditions placed there-upon.

I love how they totally overplay the fact that he flew over a pool that happened to have some stupid bitch in a bikini laying aside it. The operator clearly was not focusing on her yet they still really really really needed to point the fact that she was there out. As if the operator couldn't have just gone to lay at the pool to get a good look at her. In fact, the pool is SURROUNDED by apartment buildings and windows. Me thinks the little whore was HOPING someone would pay attention to her.

The newscasters at the end of the clip:

Drones are ok for getting the bad guys (aka extrajudicial executions) but when there is privacy issues at stake...

Female: The last thing I need is somebody taking pictures of me sunbathing....


unless of course it's the hellfire drone pilot targeting the AQ BBQ next door...then it's fine I guess. What a world.

And I loved the State rep's overall reaction that the law should be updated. She's pissed some poor innocent sap isn't going to jail over this. So of course she promises to look into "tweaking" the law so innocent people can go to jail for doing innocent things while the government can of course continue to spy on our every move. If a private person spied on us like our gov't does, they'd be guilty of hacking charges, wiretapping charges, stalking charges, etc.

If you are sunbathing outside with buildings around, there is always the possibility someone will take photographs. If you look good, for those reasons. If you look bad, for other reasons.

I am NOT blaming the woman for sunbathing at a pool. I do not think anything is wrong with doing that. But, it is naive if she thinks no one is watching and possibily photographing her. This is why I do not advise any woman to go outdoors in a bathing suit that is less than they are comfortable with someone seeing them or taking their tops off unless they are o.k. with people seeing their breasts.

I live beside a highway. It is not that busy and we have land (trees) in between. I have been outside in a bathing suit. I realize people could possibly see me, but the bathing suit was reasonably modest (and I never removed it while outdoors), so if someone had photos I could deal with knowing that.

This comment struck me as extremely stupid:

"But the scariest shot of all shows the drone wobbling high over I-4 as cars zoom by down below. The drivers have no idea that the drone was out of control at that point, and only seconds away from crashing."

I mean come the fuck on, this drone is a 9oz peice of plastic and aluminum, even one of those shitty little smart cars would smash it to smithereens if it hit the thing at highway speeds. All that would happen is the car might end up with a few scratches on the paint, if that!
It is, to me, sad how fast people forget the FOUNDATIONS of our fine country! This country was built by an armed population capable of fending for themselves, and will be lost by couches full of potato-sheeple riding their 52" HD-LEDTV's into the orwellian sunset. :(

bump

you can see each flight starts innocently enough. But you can see the potential for bad behavior.
In one shot, the drone races toward an apartment window, getting within feet of the glass.

In another shot, the drone hovers over a female sunbather at a pool. She’s completely unaware that it’s there, and she never looks up.

But the scariest shot of all shows the drone wobbling high over I-4 as cars zoom by down below. The drivers have no idea that the drone was out of control at that point, and only seconds away from crashing.

I am an FPV hobbyist. Here are two excellent examples of why we fly them and what we film.





The reason for the media attack on drones to gather support for legislation against drones IN ORDER TO PROTECT THEM FROM US. Hobbyist FPVs represent the same threat to the tyrannical regime that guns do. They are the people's eyes in the sky.

All of the hobbyist-drones-in-the-news crap and BS legislation came out after the agenda was put into place. The stories sensationalize and inspire privacy fears in the dumbed-down populace engendering support for the tyrannical legislation that does nothing to protect our privacy and everything to protect theirs.
