NYPD crackdown on drones


From CBS 2:

More than 600,000 drones were registered with the Federal Aviation Administration last year alone.

As they grow in popularity, so do the number of accidents involving some of the amateur aircraft.

To see how the NYPD is cracking down on rogue drones, CBS2’s Maurice Dubois took to the sky with the department’s aviation unit.


Although this report states that drones are illegal in NYC except at 5 city parks, in reality there are no local ordinances pertaining to drones. The FAA requires that drone operation happen at least 5 miles away from airports, which prohibits drone operation in most of Queens.

Queens discriminated against again. You can do it anywhere but here.

Discharge a firearm within city limits and YOU are in trouble. Just jam the control frequency with a signal generator. Easy enough to make. Just be sure when you topple the drone it doesn't fall on your head.

Queens is beginning to look and smell like a 3rd world country and we continue to lose our freedoms like a third world country. Unless you want to piss in public, smoke pot in public, or commit quality of life crimes - then thats ok. This is bullshit.

Most drones will land automatically if they loose the pilot's signal. Sorry to spoil your fun.
