Summary
The FAA has temporarily banned drone operations in parts of New Jersey until January 17 due to “special security reasons.”
The restrictions, covering multiple cities, prohibit drones within specified airspace, with violations risking penalties, detention, or even “deadly force” if an “imminent security threat” is identified.
The move follows weeks of increased drone sightings since November, sparking public concern and over 5,000 tips to the FBI.
Authorities attribute the sightings to a mix of commercial, hobbyist, and law enforcement drones, as well as misidentified objects like stars.
Nothing to see here, move along or we’ll shoot you, no big whoop, OK?
Bullshit heavy handed smackdown for what is probably a half-dozen or so troll drone pilots having a laugh.
Let’s get together and flashmob a thousand of them into the sky at once. FPV is not a crime.
The temporary flight restrictions, which are set to last until Jan. 17, have been implemented beginning Wednesday in the following locations: Hamilton, Bridgewater, Cedar Grove, North Brunswick, Metuchen, Evesham, Camden, Gloucester City, Westampton, South Brunswick, Edison, Branchburg, Sewaren, Jersey City, Harrison, Elizabeth, Bayonne, Winslow, Burlington, Clifton, Hancocks Bridge and Kearny.
They left out Grover’s Mill. It makes you wonder. Hmmmm.
Eliminate the quad copter. With deadly force.
It’s going to be interesting for anyone in New Jersey who gets a new drone for Christmas.
