Problem is, they will overstep their bounds at some point.... when some little bo-dunk PD gets cranky that someone is watching them abuse folks, they'll drop the drone and claim it was for 'security'.

Starting to look like UAS operators need an 'AOPA' style organization for our use cases so we can have some better representation in courts/government/etc and not just hardware manufacturers buying lobbyists.

Hah... love how folks raise the dead on boards like this. Not a lot of traffic so you end up reading stuff that's ancient.

Tho my comment still holds true.... I think at some point we'lll need some kind of nonprofit to represent the pilots in congress.

The AMA was that organization, which has basically become irrelevant because the government can and will make any regulations they want. They don't care what a hobby organization thinks and they made that very clear. The lobbyists for the industry are the only ones heard.
