Default Quadcopters, Video Cameras, etc.

this one has caught me totally flat footed. Absolutely astounding.



I think the general public is still way behind the curve on this but

will probably start becoming aware very soon. That is not a good

thing for hobbyists in my opinion. Much like when the general

population discovered the internet back in the late 90's, there will

be a lot of anguished cries about how awful this all is, and why

aren't there any laws, regulations, etc. My advice is to buy what you

want as soon as possible because within a year or two we will see

groups called "Mothers Against Remote Video Cameras", "Mothers Against

Quadcopters", etc., plus a lot of calls for legislative action.

Meanwhile law enforcement agencies will start using them in droves and

people will start getting arrested for taking a whizz against a tree

in a wilderness area. These things will probably end up as highly

regulated as handguns.


I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but when you read stuff like this, it kinda makes you wonder what's really going on.
