    Test that theory. Print this part of the page out, take it to your next drone meeting, and ask everyone to prove bronney wrong by taping over their camera. Have every person fly simply for the pleasure of seeing a drone fly.

    Let us know what percentage of your fellow operators are purists.

    PS. I know this reads as pure snark, but I only mean it as one quarter snark, and three quarters real challenge of your claim.

    Unless you own the land outside the city you plan to fly on I wouldn't suggest that either.

    There is a reason there are rc clubs with private airstrips and tracks.

    That may have been his point. Other that that, there are many areas of the country (the US in this example) with wide open spaces that no one is going to care if someone is flying a toy helicopter over one weekend a month.

    Go mount a camera with telephoto lens on a tall tripod on the sidewalk in front of someone's house. Have it pointed at any of their 'curtain protected' windows.

    Don't let anyone tell you that you are invading that homeowner's privacy, and refuse to leave your position.

    Let us know how long before the police arrest you.

    How about getting naked in a bathroom with the curtains shut, but with a slight gap that the telescope can see through? Especially if the person has it mounted on a news van sitting at the curb right in front of the house, 24 hours a day.

    There are places for people to fly drones. A neighbor's property isn't one of them.

    Why? What if the neighbor not only permits it, but encourages it?

    It seems the scenario being talked about is a drone operator flying his/her drone over several properties in a neighborhood. A scenic tour, you might say. Your example of a homeowner having said operator perform a specific function over her own house, and limiting it to that specific place and time, doesn't follow the example.

    It's not a dodge at all. I'm merely pointing out that Trump's proposals require massive civil rights violations

    No it doesn't. That's why I said your point can be quickly dismissed. It doesn't violate anyone's right to have to produce documentation in order to enroll your children in school, or apply for welfare/foodstamps, or get a job. In fact, all those require some documentation of some sort.

    So, requiring someone in those situations to show paper proving their status as a citizen or legal resident alien does not violate their rights at all. If all such interactions did require that proof, and flagged for review those who couldn't, the government could identify most of the illegal immigrants in the country.

    The fact that the federal government isn't even allowing the local police to check people who are arrested for crimes, or ignoring the local police when they do, shows why the problem is so large now. That is a big reason why Trump's overblown rhetoric has such strong support.

    As I said, while a valid concern, it is easily dismissed for the vast majority of cases, and seems to be no more than an emotional appeal to dodge the real point.

  10. What the hell are you blathering about. You think you have a rebuttal because you use the phrase "intolerant left"?

    I have a rebuttal because the intolerant person thinks anyone who disagrees with him "... may be naturalized, but you're no American."
    His advice to legal immigrants who don't support illegal immigration is "Don't let your 6 figure ass get hit by the door on your back way out."

    And his entire argument is based on the fact we didn't have immigration laws until the 1920s. Well, not a fact, since it is wrong. So, his intolerant screed is based on a lie, and is aimed an immigrant who is now a naturalized US citizen, who he disagrees with.

    You can call my reply to that "blathering". It is probably just above you comprehension level.

  11. Even though I got modded down to -1000000 for calling Trump (and his supporters) racist, here is a real time/real world example. This happened right after I put up my post, and it's a morning news story today (September 23rd).

    Ohio Trump campaign chair Kathy Miller says there was 'no racism' before Obama

    Kathy Miller called the Black Lives Matter movement ‘a stupid waste of time’ and said low African American voter turnout could be due to ‘the way they’re raised’,

    Donald Trump’s campaign chair in a prominent Ohio county has claimed there was “no racism” during the 1960s and said black people who have not succeeded over the past half-century only have themselves to blame.

    Kathy Miller, who is white and chair of the Republican nominee’s campaign in Mahoning County, made the remarks during a taped interview with the Guardian’s Anywhere but Washington series of election videos.

    So, someone in Trump's Ohio support group thinks that black culture praising the "thug culture" is a problem. How does that show Donald Trump is racist?

    Trump is like Romney: they both think a lot of people in this country are intrinsically inferior, and they base their opinion on wealth and race.

    Romney didn't say that 47% of Americans are "deplorables", as Hillary Clinton said 25% of them are. He said 47% are receiving government money, and unlikely to vote for someone who wants to limit it.

    They're rich white boys who were 'born on third base and think they hit a home run', and that regular people are scum.

    So Kathy Miller resigned, but that is irrelevant. Her racist remarks are completely in line with how Trump is promoting his campaign. She just said out loud what Trump and many Republicans believe. It's a revival of the White Citizens Councils of the 1950's, which were the cleaned up version of the KKK.

    Are you saying it was the Republican version of the Democrat's KKK?
