Hold on to your remote control, folks! The FAA just slapped a no-fly zone on drones looking to play peekaboo near ICE vehicles like they’re the hidden treasure in a video game.
That’s right! The Federal Aviation Administration has rolled out a shiny new rule banning drones from buzzing around within 3,000 feet of “Department of Homeland Security facilities and mobile assets.” Think of it as the FAA playing virtual bouncer for our airspace.
Now, if you thought zipping your drone to film some daring escapades outside an ICE vehicle would be a good idea, think again! This isn’t just your average restriction, folks; it’s like a high-stakes game of tag, where getting tagged means a one-way trip to… well, the ground.
But this isn’t anything new—it’s akin to the existing protections around military bases. But here’s the kicker: it’s all part of a broader narrative where people find it more challenging to film or gather intel (or, let’s be honest, Instagram-worthy shots) of ICE activities. So, wave goodbye to those sweet aerial views of your local ICE headquarters.
Why the fuss? Well, the skies are crowded enough with our futuristic flying robots, and the last thing we need is a bunch of DIY drone pilots giving the feds a reason to practice their evasive maneuvers.
So let’s grab our popcorn, sit back, and see how this aerial drama unfolds. Have you ever tried flying a drone? What adventures were you hoping to capture?
