Description
This week in drone news: Texas law 423 has been found unconstitutional by a federal judge, a recreational pilot in New York was fined more than $15,000, an update from our travels to the Texas Public Safety Robot Response Summit, and an upcoming South Florida Drone Meetup.
Texas Drone law 423 was ruled unconstitutional by a federal judge
The law restricted drone use and distribution of images captured via drones.
“The challenged Texas statutes prohibited legitimate newsgathering that causes no harm, and unconstitutionally drew distinctions that disallowed journalistic drone photography but allowed the exact same drone photography when done for other favored purposes. Judge Pitman properly found that these distinctions were improper and that the statutes were so vague as to be unconstitutional.”

A drone pilot from NYC was fined by the FAA over 15k last December.
The pilot stated they were operating under 44809 but did not meet the requirements.
The operator was issued a $15,205 fine.
The FAA issued fines for three flights, including
107.12, No remote pilot certificate,
107.13, drone not registered,
107.19(c) Posing a hazard to people, aircraft or property,
107.23(a) Flying at night without a waiver (Prior to new rules),
107.29(a) Flying over people without a waiver (Prior to new rules),
107.41 Flying in controlled airspace without authorization,
107.65 No 24 month recency of knowledge.
Brinc Drones and ICOR robotics have partnered to save lives.
This partnership will enable ICOR robots to deploy Brinc aircraft into structures.
DroneSense has launched remote drone operations geared towards public safety.
This allows an operator to remotely pilot a drone in order to respond to emergencies.
The web-based interface allows for near-real-time control with minimal video latency.
