We don't need to lay down


It’s Global Secular Reshuffling

After reading the article on SUAS News from Ed Pilkington “Whats keeping americas private drone industry grounded?” immediately the words of then candidate Obama to “Joe the Plummer”, ”I think when you spread the wealth around, it is good for everyone” Now as I see it our government, the FAA is hamstringing entrepreneurs not only in the manufacturing sector of the UAS/Drone industry but the small businessman who like myself could be much better off financially if there wasn’t a policy restricting the commercial use of UAS/Drone technologies. What is interesting to me is how all of those law abiding industry professionals are so adamant on defending the draconian rules of the FAA, as if by promoting and honoring the nonsensical policy that allows for the recreational use of this technology but not the commercial use by a trained professional using the same technology.

Retain an attorney

There has been no legislation passed by congress restricting the commercial use of UAS/Drone technologies. When a judge is considering a case with such a disparity in the law where the same technology is allowed by a farmer, a surveyor or architect’s child to play with but that same farmer can’t use is to look at his crops or to earn a living to feed that same child, he is not going to find in favor of the father. If everyone who owns a UAS/Drone that wants to earn income to pay their bills, holds them self out for aerial photography, precision agriculture, photogrammetry jobs and they get written permission from the owner of the property and an attorney opinion letter specific to the operation being conducted and go to work. When the FAA comes around and tries to give you a verbal “Cease and Desist order” hand them the letter. Then if they come back with a written cease and desist letter, give it to your attorney and not only have him sue the FAA on your behave but have him file a class action law suit and not only name civilian UAS/Drone pilots and professionals but military veterans. Do this so when signatures need to be gathered you have a larger pool to draw from. Then we can cut the artificial leash shackling this industry in the USA!
