I just saw on the local news (min. ago) , that they are proposing new regs. on drones in areas (I don't remember the exact words) that interfere with emergency stuff.
$5000.00 fines,disabling drones (I guess wi fi has something to do with the video feeds-jamming it),and as I suggested dissabling them,messing with rc or whatever control...
It is state stuff.Not fed. so far.
Really sad to see idiots make laws have to be made due to idiots.
Might regulate the guys who are just into drones as a hobby not being able to fly stuff except in certain areas.
When I was a kid,I flew Rc stuff and drove rc cars,I then got into model Rockets.
It was only allowed at certain places WITH a Permit from the fire dept.
Then it became legal (early 70's)in most parks for a while,as long as the area you launched at was a certain size.
People abused it and places that were cool to launch at locally were individually closed down for model rockets,
I see the same thing happening to Drones.
I guess Too many people think screwing up is their right or something.
Rant over.
Hope you and others understand what I'm trying to say.
I'm not the best writer around...

I got the impression they want to do a land based,on a fire truck version of your link.
I don't know what drones are controlled by.
I got the impression wifi was the video feed.
But it looks like I'm wrong,they may or may not be controlled by wi fi.
I have no clue...
Either way,like with booze,use it in a responsible way.
I see/saw drones as a hobby.
Not these days.
Years ago,I went to a LOT of computer fairs.
Saw a LOT of versions of early drones sold for cheap.
I REALLY wanted a drone,as now,I could never afford one.
It would have been a great toy at the time.
Closest I got was a RC helicopter I put a sugar cube camera on that the signal was good for the camera for 100yrds max.
Yup I'm a dinosaur. LOL
I piss people off because the way I write can be taken out of context or?
I do see using drones as OK fordifferent stuff.
The idiots are going to blow it for people that are responsible or whatever,for their use of drones.
I see an invasion of privavey as an issue too.
Drones are going to be a hard row to hoe very soon legally I think.
Mostly due to idiots and possible nasty people that might send one out that blows up or whatever.
