Drones Getting in the Way of Emergency Responders

Oh, for the love all that's holy.

Why does this raise so much excitement?

Add some jammers to the responder's equipment. RC control units are on frequencies that don't conflict with radios used by anyone with any business being there.

Drones tend to crash or land when they lose the control signal.

The politicians will push jammers as a solution after they've all milked it for as much publicity as they can. They will, of course, shout and rant to have the "pilots" found and arrested, event though that really isn't feasible. But it has so much bullshit headline potential for trials/failures/etc., that they won't be able to resist it. Elections are coming, remember.

So I predict that jamming will be pushed as the best solution towards the end of the 2016 Bullshit Election cycle.

This is in contrast to this article, that states, "Drones can help in two ways: They can safely gather more information about fire conditions than is currently available, and they can send that information to firefighters on the ground quickly." --- http://money.cnn.com/2013/08/19/technology/innovation/fire-f...
