I'm David... owner of two Belgian Malinois - Ziva and DiNozzo. #orthodox #christian #bitcoin #tech and #drone junkie. #aiart My notes and opinions are my own… All zaps go to my #Malinois kibble budget - it's a lot to feed pups that are training for #SAR #searchandrescue

What about going native? Or going commando? Asking for a friend…

"The question becomes, how is “aircraft” defined in that title?"

The FAA regulations are actually pretty clear on this - If I have to put an ID tag on it to give it an FAA designation (and btw I do) then it's classified as aircraft.

IANAL - but contract law is not the same as Federal Law. Federal law can override contract law in certain situations. Generally, contract law is governed by state law, but if a contract violates federal law or a federal law specifically governs the subject matter of the contract, then federal law will take precedence. This is based on the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution, which establishes that federal law is the "supreme law of the land."

"What about common law or equitable law?"

Note I did NOT talk about what is legal for a drone *pilot* to do.. ONLY what is NOT legal for people who take issue with drones being flown to do. In the cases you mentioned, local, state and FAA regulations will apply. And drone pilots who are FAA certified if they violate those laws can have their licensing revoked (period determined by FAA) face civil penalties (to the tune of 10's thousands in USD) and risk civil litigation as well. You would have to check with your own municipality for the specifics.

Hey #nostr while we're on the topic of Freedom.. did you know that shooting down a drone is illegal? I didn't either.. and no I did not shoot one down.. but I do fly them and I've seen friends of mine talk about shooting them out of the sky if they fly over their property... so let me share why this is a monumentally bad choice.

From aerocorner.com

- Shooting an aircraft is a federal crime

- Firing a weapon may be considered criminal mischief

- State and local laws may include additional restrictions for firing weapons

- Homeowners do not “own” the airspace above their properties

- Claiming self-defense is not a viable option

- The drone operator may sue the shooter in civil court

Under Title 18 US Code 32, the destruction of aircraft is a federal crime. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) classifies all types of drones as “aircraft.”

(this means you can go to prison for doing it)

GN all and keep #flying

FWIW the monks that reside at Greek Orthodox monasteries are either vegetarian or vegan (spiritual reasons) and I have enormous respect for them and their level of discipline.. I have zero issues with people who live under those rules regardless of the reason. Far from it… Cheers.. 🍻

Hey just because I disagree with you on something hardly makes me delusional… I still keep an open mind.. 🤣🙃

Has he though? I mean BlueSky was supposed to be the answer to his mistakes in Twitter. It wasn’t. Jack is a great technologist .. but frankly I think he’s a terrible leader.
