If cities assess the National Guard is insufficient in readiness to address drone fly overs then cities need to align and purchase their own fleet. Preferably plane size drones. It is going to be a difficult topic with the public as to the size drone law enforcement has and whether or not they are armed.
It bothers me that a drone being simply followed evaded non threatening surveillance to prevent detection of the source and operator.
Airports need to up their game with radar as well, including small airports.
Yes, I am saying we are our own defense. To the point we may need a parallel unofficial federal advisement structure for the 50 states, not just party affiliations.
It is aggression.
That cannot be ignored.
In the link above a drone is indescribable by the WITNESS. That could have easily been a military size drone that could even have been weaponized.
Most Americans, including local and state elected officials have no clue about drones. The word used domestically usually relates to toy like recreational use. That use should not be discouraged, but, only regulated to protect the public from accidents or malicious use.
There is also the issue of exhaust fumes, too. The exhaust of engine powered drones should meet clean air standards set for them. These things are flying at questionable altitudes over water supplies.
I find it very interesting this phenomenon is occurring over the most densely populated state of the 50 states. A cataclysmic event in one such state would have a deep impression of the country. I am talking “oppression” of a nature similar to that after September 11th when privacy became unimportant. This time it is about obedience to a hostile federal government making plans to round up people.
It is wise for elected officials at all levels to get up to speed on this topic AND formulate solutions to the problems.
Elected officials have their own responsibilities. The fact they are unaware of an issue in the popular culture is not surprising. The concerned public needs to attend meetings to be sure their concerns are understood. Once the concerns are understood, then formulating an understanding to the solution can begin. Basically, a concern becomes an agenda item. Once on the agenda the concern can move to resolution to satisfaction of all concerned.
Yes, I think drones need to be an agenda item.
