"detect and classify drones up to one mile away,"

Wow, kind of overreaching the bounds of a golf course seems to me, but what do I know about golf other than it's a big waste of pasture land. ?

It wasn't because of the gold course, but rather because of the tournament. These events bring big money to the event organizers, so they don't want wild footage out there. There was a surfing event where a Mavic showed up and started recording, so the producers decided to hover a helicopter on top of it, to take it down after various attempts to bring it down from the water. It also happened in this year's Superbowl, the FBI placed a similar system, but with greater range and caught 6 people flying their drones within the 30 mile radius NFZ.

"Caught 6 people flying their drones..." near their homes causing no problems to anyone whatsoever... I wonder what "punishment" they gave those people flying 30 MILES AWAY? I have never heard of a 30 mile NFZ - am I missing out here?

In all honestly, I never did a follow up to what happened to these people, but I do know the FBI confiscated their drones and exhibited them as a warning to others.

I posted about it in one of our sister forums.

Super bowl drones

This morning the Today Show had a news video showing several several police captured drones on a table. Most appeared to be dji ldrones... it's been posted a no fly zone! Come on people, use you heads!
