Drones have become a problem for the bridge "Golden Gate"
Agency management bridge "Golden Gate", connecting San Francisco to Marin County, is concerned about the increasing concentration of drones in the vicinity of the bridge and the frequent incidents involving them, сообщает Ars Technica .
Denis Mulligan, general manager of the company, serving the bridge, told the magazine "Marine", which is one of the drones recently crashed right on the lane of vehicles. The company and other government organizations sent a letter to Senator Diane Feinstein, pointing out that "the increased presence of unmanned aerial vehicles is a serious threat».
Mulligan said that drones violate perimeter security zone of the bridge. "We can not attract people control drones for illegal entry to the protected area. But if a person climbs over your fence and starts taking pictures, you can bring him to justice. " Denis talks about the need for a clear legal framework that would limit flying drones over the protected area for security reasons.
This is not the first time that the use multicopter and other aircrafts want to regulate. For example, there were heated debates in various states of the United States regarding the use of drones to deliver the goods. A modern legal system is faced with a fundamentally new phenomenon - the use of civilian remote-controlled aircraft. Decades before the use of drones was the prerogative of the armed forces. Now, when multicopter became widely available in the market, things changed.
While legislators in many countries, and proceeded from the principle of "easier to ban" that give rise to justifiable outrage, but in the case of the bridge "Golden Gate" and the fall of the drone on the roadway situation is clear to everyone. UAVs have become a part of our world and, in order to avoid accidents that can result in the loss of human life, the legal framework and common regulation of flight zones are needed.
