Louisiana has become the first state to allow law enforcement to intercept and disable drones posing threats to public safety. Gov. Jeff Landry signed the groundbreaking "We Will Act" Act into law on Wednesday, June 18.
Well this is certainly odd timing...
HB261 by Rep. Jack "Jay" Gallé Jr., R-District 104 (St. Tammany Parish) grants specially trained officers the authority to use both kinetic and non-kinetic methods to neutralize drones operating unlawfully near sensitive areas like schools and public events.
??? What that means??
"This law puts Louisiana on the front lines of drone defense," Gov. Landry said. "We are taking bold steps now to protect our people and our skies before tragedy strikes."
Violators face strict penalties, including fines up to $5,000, up to one year in jail, and mandatory forfeiture of the drone. The legislation comes amid growing concerns over unauthorized drone activities near sensitive locations.
Gov. Landry noted this move places Louisiana at the forefront of state-level drone policy, setting a precedent that may influence future legislation across the country.
This weird video of Landry signing the bill specifically mentions Louisiana's nuclear power facilities, then Landry tries to make light of everything by saying "They tell me the president is getting ready to do an executive order on some of this stuff... I didn't say that."
... This is fine.

??? What that means??
kinetic is shooting guns or throwing things like nets.
non-kinetic is jamming control signals (or maybe even GPS?) or threatening the operator, so he lands it.

And the fact that the Mossad snuck in drones to Iran recently for their attack
And the video of Landry signing this bill and mentioning our nuclear power plants and saying Trump will be signing his own EO soon
And the fact that Trump also just fired a Biden appointee who was head of the Nuclear safety board that oversees America's nuclear reactors
Hopefully all just part of a really weird series of coincidences

the US has the military power to force Farsi to become a dead language, and I don't think the Iranian government would want to mess with force that powerful like that
I think what your seeing is probably a bunch of coincidences, there's other explainations for that stuff you listed, like trump replacing govt workers with his own or wanting more deregulation for power plants.
I wouldn't worry too much of a threat like that from Iran.

schrieb am 19. Juni 2025, 03:16 zuletzt editiert vonSince nobody has mentioned it, all of this is turbo illegal and the federal courts will absolutely nuke this from orbit. State governments do not control airspace, full stop. The courts have been very clear on this. Manned vs unmanned doesn't matter to the FAA, it's still one hell of a PP slap from the feds for encroaching on their turf. Additionally, any form of jamming (desense, deauth, noise, location spoofing, fraudulent signals etc) is illegal and regulated by the FCC, and doing it with intent to take down an aircraft means you get strung up by both the FCC and FAA simultaneously. In particular doing literally anything to the GPS band will pose a massive and immediate risk to manned passenger aircraft and the feds aren't going to look kindly on that.

Hungary has this thing where the agitprop always gets some footage taken before the protest starts so the crowd looks smaller as it's only the early people there from police drones.
You can't fly your own drone to counter the narrative.

FAA has from the beginning been very forceful in asserting that it is the sole authority for things attempting to defy gravity.
On the flip side though, the GOP stopped caring about anything courts say.
So. Guess we'll see how this plays out for the next few years at least.

Federal regulations and protections can get pushed aside real fast in the name of security, especially when you have states like Louisiana already working so closely with DHS.
