For all you folks citing the many Part 107 violations committed here, consider this. The incident described in this video occurred in July 2014, two years before Part 107 was even published by the FAA.
A permit is necessary to operate these in excess of 400' AGL. There are other charges that got tacked on--I'm sure. As more people are caught and convicted, this stupidity will hopefully be greatly reduced.
A permit is just a government fee to sell your rights back to you. We are supposed to believe the gubment owns the air now? Come on dude remember when that drunk guy stole an airplane twice and landed it on a NYC street? What happened to that America?
People just don’t understand the dangers of operating a “toy” in congested airspace. I’d love to fly mine from home but I have to drive 4 miles away to fly because I’m on the final approach to our small airport. Aircraft fly over my home below 500’ so I could easily put an aircraft in danger in just a few seconds.
You could still possibly fly yours from your house location, just not too high, probably around 25' to 50' could still be alright. "Missions" to visually inspect the roof of your house - types of flight should also be fine, in my opinion.
Thank you for not being amongst the idiots. I've been flying RC for 30 years, and I hate it that it's come to this. Ya know, used to you had to know what you were doing or you'd turn your plane into a lawn dart, but now most any moron can keep a drone in the air.
Could, but it was ten years ago, so did it? I wonder what the outcome was. The FAA Part 107 regulations for small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) took effect on August 29, 2016, two years after this.
Anything less than 1125 ft/s is subsonic. Also, Richard, the pilot was estimating while flying a helocopter - at night in congested airspace. Get back to your McRib and leave this discussion to the adults.
@@wcolby0-2000 in 2 sec is 680mph. Yes a random TH-camr is more believable than a low time helicopter cop making stuff up. No toy prop drone is going supersonic.
This incident happened two years before the FAA started regulating drones. The FAA Part 107 regulations for small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) took effect on August 29, 2016. This is why they were trying to figure out what to charge them with.
Couple of interesting observations from NJ… 1) wondering what he meant by “he has to be military” and 2) so you telling me they cant wait and see where they go? They must think we’re dumb 😂
u could also say the police was reckless, since they fly to the drone. not sure if reckless is correct. flying without license or some NJ / NY / Federal Law
We ain't seen nuttin yet. Wait until thousands of delivery drones and air taxi quad copter kind of things start buzzing us.. Ugly and noisy skies coming.
I would suspect the quad copter taxi services will have a defined corridor with a pre-approved departure point and pre-approved landing locations. It's going to take at least a decade before they land them on your driveway and whisk you away. City Ordinances will also govern their operation. It's a process, of course, but I think it will be an exciting time to be alive for these up and coming young adults.
@@PRH123 Yes and I imagine it will be very expensive given the operating, maintenance and insurance expenses. But man, I would love that versus driving to the airport!

These arseholes are just gonna make things harder for us legal drone operators.
Come on dude, the gubment will blame "lack of bandwidth" when Tommy Boy went after the Don
Not "are gonna". Two years later, the FAA Part 107 regulations for small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) took effect on August 29, 2016.

you misspelled license. FAA regs part 107
@billemerick5423 a permit is the gebnent selling your rights back to you
@@billemerick5423 are you the spelling police? You know what he meant - right?
@billemerick5423 words on paper say people can't fly unless you pay gurpment fee to sell rights back to you, or else
Hobby drones are going to end up becoming totally banned.
Welcome in a "free" world.
@@JanNowak-s2w You mean the freedom to follow the rules that are necessary to avoid society from descending into chaos?
WOW...Looks like the hip hop museum is closed. Devistated.

These are not the drones you are looking for
They ain’t toys. The FAA (a federal agency) has set rules/laws that control them. That could constitute a felony charge.

Crazy how poorly the helicopter pilot incorrectly estimated the performance of the drone. 0-2000 feet in 2 seconds is almost supersonic.
When given the choice of… Do, I believe the officer flying the helicopter or some dude on TH-cam….
And people say that pilots cant be wrong about the stuff they see.

@@extraace And supersonic... straight up.
@@wcolby It's not about believing, it's simple math.
Learn the drone rules so you know what violation was committed.
Not condoning what the drone operator was doing, but does NYPD has authority to enforce FAA regulation regarding airspace for drone usage?
Is FAA gonna hunt down and arrest the drone operator?
They have levied hefty fines in similar cases.

were they federal charges?
Who didn’t see this coming?
In 2014? Almost no one.

Your fear of the future has been noted. We are laughing at you, but your fear has been noted.
@@A1FAHxpff, ain’t gonna happen. at best it will be an operation similar to current helicopter operations
@@PRH123 Yes and I imagine it will be very expensive given the operating, maintenance and insurance expenses. But man, I would love that versus driving to the airport!
Wow, a stealth aircraft that didn't cost $100 million each.
These are not your daddy’s drones
In 2014? A dji Phantom 1, as it appears in the photo, was your daddy's drone! 😂
How come they can catch this drone operator?
Because they were in a helicopter and it was flying next to them. Sheer luck.
come on... dont show off...
The lawyers defence is it eas only 300 feet...so the nost easily disproven lie there has to be going..why bother.
