These aren't the drones you're looking for

[showbizz]

So.... Someone can fly 50 drones around military sites, without reprocusion? Since when?

[alexjoens]

Step one scare them with fake drone sightings step 2 pass laws to take away rights from Americans

[iantrimbath]

This is the dumbest way to put blame on someone.

[d.b.]

They catch regular people right away, the other drones. Not so much…

[superhappyfunsmile]

They catch these drone operators and not the SUV size drone operators?? C'mon

[blackberrymountainhomestea]

Its our own government, people.Dont fall for the bs.

[JackycClark]

The Federal government knows exactly what's up there and why it's there .

[shawnhornett]

Mayorkas. We see no threat. Also Mayorkas we need more laws giving DHS more control of this non threat.

[Riclmnopp]

They want us to believe that it is just random people doing all of this.

[JimKat]

Big difference between drones that fit into a backpack and a predator or global hawk drone

[IndianaDoug]

See what happens when citizens act? New laws, regulations, and now arrests. Yet no one else is held accountable.
The FAA regs don’t say flying “close” to a no fly zone is against the law. It’s says flying “inside” a no fly zone is. So which is it?

[JohnSmith-inms]

I can only fly my drone for 90 minutes with all 3 batteries fully charged which cost 400$. not counting the drone and remote .so please realize it's not us hobbyist. I got mine from Amazon! And I can't turn my red and green lights off, keep in mind I only spent 1, 800$ whoever is doing this didn't just go to Walmart

[joeschmoe]

So the Gov puts on this big drone show and now wants to rush in some bill / law. Thats very shady.

[ARIXANDRE]

"Not a public threat"... but they are breaking safety laws. Therefore, they are a threat.

[zcyeo]

Looks like someone trying to fly a drone to have a good look at those UAP and they get caught immediately.

[djinhelo]

Didn't mayorcas also tell us the border was secure for four years?

[DCV]

Is this going to expand government control?

[theonlychinailikeiswhite]

These are not the drones you're looking for

[ThyGoldenChild]

Amazing they arrest two people for flying there drones but they don’t know who or what is flying the drones that are just flying around Nj with no consequences.
