    This will be interesting. DeSantis will be afraid to respond and attack trump.

    Kind of like when DeSantis and his cronies were for DEI. ;)

    Remember, when DeSantis points a finger at Trump, there’s three more fingers in the pudding.

    Our (not so) brilliant governor strikes again.

    "A law, backed by Florida governor (and US Presidential hopeful) Ron DeSantis, banning the use of Chinese drones in Florida has gone into force, grounding millions of dollars worth of police and state-service-owned drones overnight.

    The law, Florida statute 934.50, is an unfunded mandate, meaning there is no new money for departments operating drones to replace their Chinese – usually DJI or Autel – drones with alternatives, and, as many have pointed out, the alternatives often aren't up to the job. DJI is the largest supplier of non-military drones on the planet, with a wide choice of the best DJI drones for most tasks."

    "Lieutenant Michael Crabb, of the North County Sheriff's Office, told the Florida state senate said: "If there are national security issues with a DJI drone, then show us what it is." He also said: "I'm an American, and I wish we could buy all American-made drones [but] there are limitations with American-made, unfortunately." He indicates that, of a fleet of 25 drones used to monitor active crimes and in other police work, 19 were DJI and would now be grounded."

    Florida DJI drone ban grounds $200m fleet and angers police and state officials

    He’s just providing evidence of how far Florida has fallen in the “land of the free, home of the brave” department.

    Per reports on TV, il duce (little dusche in English) wants to build a prison next to Disney World. Tell me this man is not a spiteful and thus dangerous man. I'm sure even his most ardent supporters must question his fitness to be our president.

    this is another example of ready shoot aim. but this time it negatively impacts LEO. What is our legislature doing passing bs like this with no thought process involved?

    hopefully between leo opposition to this and catholic church opposition to law making it a felony to transport immigrants, the legislature will start pushing back, but I doubt it

    trying to figure out how all these drones are going to be sold. Wouldn''t mind picking up a high quality dji for a good price.
