Disaster-gawping cam drones to be blasted out of the sky in California

@thx1138v2 -- Re: Unintended consequences

Ok...you made your point. Now let's see where your priorities really are.... ready....

You've fallen into a ravine. There's a fire coming in your direction and it's about 1 mile away. Fire crews and rescue crews can't get to you with a rescue chopper or even suppress the fire because there's one or two of these things hovering around the ravine. Do they:

a) Think of the poor bystanders who are probably in the way anyhow? Think of the property? Thus, they don't knock the drone out of the air. Result: you die.

or....

b) Knock the thing out of the air and save your sorry ass....????

I'm betting you and anyone else who thinks knocking a drone out of the air in an emergency is a bad thing will still go for b) because in this case, you're (collectively) a bunch of self-centered buttheads.

Downvote away... as someone who has been there and understands risk and sacrifice for the greater good, I'll take the downvote hit.
