News organizations, advocacy groups including the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and even former FAA officials are sounding the alarm on what could be the “most sweeping prohibition on UAS [uncrewed aircraft system] activity across the United States ever imposed.”

“[The TFR] seems to warn that anyone flying a drone anywhere in the country would be in violation if an ICE or Border Patrol ‘convoy’ decides to drive beneath them,” Jay Stanley, senior policy analyst for the ACLU Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project, wrote in his analysis Thursday. “Such a ‘drive-under’ is actually quite likely in places where thousands of immigration agents are rampaging through neighborhoods such as Minneapolis-St. Paul.”
Are they afraid someone is going to put a grenade on a drone? Thats ridiculous, no one would do that.
Get a flying camera under .55 lbs
Or just make your own normal drone and don’t tell the government about it.
You would be in violation of the rules this way. Under .55 would be legal
Yes, that is why you don’t tell the government about it.
I don’t understand your logic or why not telling would make a difference. A below weight drone isn’t a drone at all. You would be doing nothing illegal by definition. You could do what you want with an under weight drone. Your method is illegal whether you tell or not.
