  • 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.

    kinetic and non-kinetic methods

    ??? 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.

    Its the timing of all this with Iran that has me most concerned and the fact that Trump just got rid of the only agency that does a thorough investigation into industrial explosions.

    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

    I highly doubt that Iran would attack the US directly - the most they would do is cyberwar

    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.

    Since 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.

    Iran already tried to kill Trump before the election

    This.

    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.

    Yes, absolutely, 100%.

    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.

    Things can change very quickly if there's an "attack" on U.S. soil they totally didn't know about in advance or anything when they signed this.

    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.

    Or if you just ignore federal courts, which seems to be the current fashion.

    Hmm, if laws do pass preventing states from making laws against AI, then we may have legal conflicts regarding laws against drones. They use AI.

    I've been using Vivaldi as my logged in browser for years. I like the double tab bar groups, session management, email client, sidebar and tab bar on mobile. It is strange to me that tab bar isn't a thing on mobile on other browsers despite phones having way more vertical space than computers. Although for internet searches I use a seperate lighter weight browser that clears its data on close. Ecosia also been using for years. For a while it was geniunely better than the other search engines I had tried but nowadays it's worse since it started to return google translate webpage translation links based on search region instead of the webpages themselves. Also not sure what to think about the counter they readded after removing it to reduce the emphasis on quantity over quality like a year ago. I don't use duckduckgo as its name and the way privacy communities used to obsess about it made me distrust it for some reason

    Yup, and people seem to frequently underestimate how ridiculously expensive running a fleet of humanoid robots would be (and don’t seem to realize how comparatively low the manual labor it’d replace is paid.)

    I want to read his "Meaning of the City" because I just like City theory, but I keep postponing in case it's just Christian morality lessons. The anarchist Christian angle makes this sound more interesting.

    Okay, I'd be interested to hear what you think is wrong with this, because I'm pretty sure it's more or less correct.
