Pretty amazing if you think about. The operators would have to be pretty brazen to operate along the Southern California coast for any length of time, let alone follow Navy Destroyers.
Do consumer drones still require line of sight? I don’t mean pre-programmed routes. Could operators sit in a car or house and operate the drones with zero concern of being caught?
- perl4ever 5y agoSeems like the only sensible way to set up a big attack. Spend an indefinite amount of time desensitizing the targets. I get downvoted every time I point this out, but this is why banning things makes sense, even if only the law abiding obey. If something is banned, and somebody is doing it anyway, you know they are a "bad guy" (by definition, not morally) which is really valuable.

- perl4ever 5y agoI don't see the connection between something having utility for authorities and it having utility for you, me, or society. Are you able to consider the perspective of others who don't share your goals or values, temporarily and without giving up your own point of view?
- solidsnack9000 5y agoJust banning things to see who doesn't follow the ban and arrest them -- does that have utility for authorities or for you, me, and society?
- Rebelgecko 5y agoThe line of sight thing is an FAA regulatory requirement, I don't think it was ever a technical one. However if these guys are out past the Channel Islands it's definitely beyond the range of a consumer level drone.
