Why The Government Shouldn 't Permit The Use Of Drones, Due For Cost, Failure, And Availability

In the article Drone On, Gretchen West addresses the possibilities for drones and her issues with FAA and the slow pace their taking to establish rules for drone operating. She begins with the history of drones. She discusses that drones were primarily use for the military and other government sectors like Homeland Security, until private companies started developing an interest in drones. Instead of helping in wars and watching our boarders, drones were now being used for farming and bridge inspection. Now drones are an international and multibillion dollar industry. Drones, are as a faster and safer way to do things like helping farmers with their crops or help filmmakers shoot amazing footage; drones will benefit everyone. Commercial drones

The term “Drone” is a keyword to a touchy subject. There are many different types and uses for these drones though, most of which are beneficial; unfortunately, media sources report on the negatives of drones by publishing headlines like “Drone flies up to White House”, or “Drone strikes kill innocent people”. Although many try to ruin the reputation of drones, the facts and the outlook is good. The use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles are key to the future of many industries and when used right will benefit all.

In our world, there is always new technologies that are advancing us toward the future. Drones can get packages to their destination faster and locate wanted fugitives on the run. There are many things that drones can do, but would you want a drone fighting in a war than a human fighting in a war? There are many reasons for drones to be good and for drones to be bad. If the american people got ahold of drones, what would our country be like? There are so many concerns with safety and privacy concerns that the american people shouldn’t be allowed to handle drones. Our world will soon be only about drones controlling our lives and priorities that in a couple of years, no wars will be fought with human beings, the

Recently, the use of drones and other unmanned aircraft has concerned the general public. Drones today come standard with a high definition camera that some say will allow people to spy and plot out other malicious acts towards society. Large drone companies are concerned that sales will drop if the restrictions continue to rise; moreover, the ability to buy a drone is becoming much more difficult. Drone restrictions concern people who have owned drones for years and use them for recreational purposes and farming; additionally, this concerns local governments that plan to use the drones for life-saving situations.

Drones are a government device and should not be in the use of civilian and private hands. Authorities in Paris spotted unmanned drones buzzing the Eiffel Tower, the Bastille, the Place de la Concorde the U.S. Embassy and other high-profile landmarks. That is the first reason why drones should be banned from the public. There is multiple reasons why they are not safe. An 18-month-old boy has lost an eye after being hit by a drone flown by a family friend. Oscar Webb's eye was sliced in half by a propeller after the operator, Simon Evans, lost control of the drone. The toddler, from Stourport-on-Severn, Worcestershire, will need several operations before he can have a prosthetic eye fitted. It was the first drone injury Oscar's surgeon had seen, but she said it was "inevitable" there would be many more. Those are just a couple of reasons and instandents why drones should be banned from the

In this article “Drones” and the Future of domestic Aviation written by John Villasenor states the benefits of drones, airspace safety and the benefits of the civilians. The article states a brief summary of how drones came about to be. Drones also known as unmanned aircraft were developed in the mid-20th century by the following countries United States, the Soviet Union, Russia, France and Japan. According to the article, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency funded the California-based AeroVironment built the first Nano Hummingbird which weighed less than 20 grams and it was capable of taking a video. Drones are a new growing technology but it still has the cons which brings the value of the product down. The negative side of unmanned aircraft is the invasion of privacy.

On Monday, January 26, 2015 a drone crash landed on the White House lawn. Though there are no flight restrictions on drone flight by the white house, this particular drone went undiscovered for many minutes because the radar system misapprehended the drone for a large bird. Once discovered, the White House instantly went into lockdown. They had a difficult time detecting where the drone came from, however, once they figured out who the responsible party was The US Attorney decided not to charge the drone operator because he didn’t have control of the drone at the time. This proves that drones are extremely dangerous to the community because they can be used in terrorist attacks, they are being used to smuggle drugs across borders, and they are basically flying knives There have been countless reports of drone crashes all over the US. It is time to take a stand and ban drones.

Drones are extremely invasive from a privacy standpoint, especially when carrying cameras. The pilot can be miles away from the drone, and still able to see everything private citizens do in the comfort of their own home. This idea of lack of privacy, especially in the United States where privacy is a legal, constitutional right, is very frightening to many.

Turn on the news, and there will be at least one story about drones. Within the last five years, drones have experienced a massive spike in interest and have been upgraded constantly until they became state-of-the-art machines. Though drones are one of the most advanced pieces of technology the world has ever seen, they should not be used by militaries because of the many problems associated with them, such as limited pilots, innocent victims, and mid flight crashes.

Drones are, not a new technology, it has been used by the government for surveillance and to attack other countries. Now they are being used by the everyday man for recreational purpose, and companies use them to deliver packages. With all the attention this technology is getting, only has few laws have taken into account on how they can be dangerous and even fewer have addressed the many problems that come with it. Drones are vehicles and can be dangerous not only in the wrong hands but in everyday accidents. Drones need to have limits to what they can do, and where they can fly. They are vehicles and are required to be registered, so it's reasonable that if they have to be registered that we have certain laws on the drones to protect the

They have become more affordable and easier to use as well, which is what's attracting many people to them. With this surge in popularity has come the realization that the skies and the FAA, have not been set up to have drones flying around with all the other aircraft already occupying the skies above us. With the growing popularity of drones, dangerous cases of near collisions with other aircraft are rising. Incident such as on July 6 when two "drones flew too close to a police helicopter (...) flying near the George Washington Bridge [New York]" (CBS). The police helicopter was forced to dodge the drones in order to avoid a collision. Other incidents include these "Two different commercial airliners came within 100 feet of unmanned air vehicles (UAV) when landing at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport"(CNN). Drones are clearly not being monitored enough if they can get this close to an airport. There is a great danger to airliners if drones continue getting so close to them on landing. The problem with drones right now is there really isn't enough regulation by the FAA. The FAA publication on drones states that "Not later than 270 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Transportation, in consultation with representatives of the aviation industry, Federal agencies that employ unmanned aircraft systems technology in the national airspace system, and the unmanned aircraft systems industry, shall develop a comprehensive plan to safely accelerate the integration of civil unmanned aircraft systems into the national airspace system" (FAA sec 332). The FAA has real regulations in place for all the different types of UAV's that are out flying today. The FAA is testing and planning the integration of UAV's into the already busy skies. Once this plane is completed then regulations will be set in place to ensure the safety of all aircraft. However for a plan to be developed and implemented

According to some moral philosophers, political scientists, and weapon specialists, drones are the most moral weapons available (Ahmad 21-29). Many even consider their use “ethically obligatory” (Shane). This means that it is the responsibility for the U.S. to use drones and protect other nations from terrorists and other threats.

Drones are a controversial issue, especially through the lens of the Fourth Amendment, the “right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures” (Will). Privacy is something everyone cares about and they have a right to, but drones should not be banned, because of the fear that someone might use them inappropriately. But like everything else drones should have some regulations, to prevent people from misusing them. Do the pros of drones outweigh the cons? Drones should be legal for both military and consumers to use.

One reason why People need to get rid of drones is that they can spy on people. They can be used to spy on borders and they will think that People are spying on them because People don’t trust them. drones can make people

Drones can be dangerous but only if they are not used properly and in the right areas. Drones can be harmless if they are used in the right places, don't fly drones around public buildings, don't fly drones where there is a big crowd of people. The government can make no fly zones but they should not make drones illegal. There have been many cases of drones killing people, Because of people flying them in places that should not be flown in. this way of thinking is understandable because drones should not be able to kill people. The government could make a law saying that drugs cannot be bigger than a certain size, that would be a way to solve the problem besides taking drones away
