| Licensed   Joined: Dec 2004 From: Spokane Area | Drones = Starting my ride bucket list :( Yes I'm not dead or dying  I'm just hibernating!  But law enforcement will soon be using drones is ruining my day now http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/46499162.../#.T0Z2MfFKRLc  I don't want to have speeding tickets mailed to me because of some drone captured me speeding Some of the track riders say " why don't you ride track days?" I do ride track days but it's not the same So I'm getting my bucket list of fun roads to ride this year before we are screwed over by drones flying over all of our fun and loved roads |

| Licensed  Joined: May 2007 From: PDX, OR I Ride: 07 SY Triumph 675 Daytona | Yet another reason why a license plate tail tuck is a good thing. Haha. If you read the article, there is mention of the operators having to be within line of sight it sounds like as being a potential requirement. |

| Shredical  | I imagine overhead visibility of most motorcycle liscence plates will be difficult, as most fender elminators tuck the plate up under the tail. There's also the old "Oh it fell off and is in the trunk of my bike" trick. |

I Ride: Motorcycle Loading... | “It’s not meant to sit over someone’s house and take video” - I'm sure the guy who suspects his wife cheating on him won't be thinking of that. On the other hand, when this gets fully implemented, I think they should have a live streaming option. If they're going to have the ability to fly a UAV over the public in the name of "Law Enforcement" the public who the UAV is recording should also have a right to view what's going on. |

| Endorsed  Joined: May 2011 From: Vancouver,WA I Ride: CBR 1000F | Is it a good thing I work/commute near a major airport? I suspect they would have trouble flying their little toys close to major air traffic, especially at 400 ft. That is, unless they want them to be FOD. Hmmm.... |

| Endorsed  Joined: Jan 2011 From: Portland Oregon I Ride: 05 XB12R | laws are supposed to be deterents "behaivior changers" and supposedly these camers are supposed to encourage "us" to toe the line. what i see is the laws in this country have turned into money makers, and these cameras are just like the loan sharks sending muscle to collect! when does it end?

Get real, they are going to do everything they can to make sure we can't see them fucking up. I see new bills like this a lot like I do taxes, now, if there's a way to abuse it...they will. | |

| Endorsed  Joined: Jun 2011 From: Stevenson, WA I Ride: 2002 Honda VFR800 | I work for a company in the Gorge that produces UAVs and I can tell you that the UAV is going to have a hard time reading the bikes license plate.... but unfortunately for the rider our UAVs can stay up for over 24 hrs, so all they would need to do is follow you until you get home and then send in the cavalry. |
