I would think that that would be the bare minimum requirement to enforce a no fly zone like this, and even then it's not nearly enough. They certainly would never do such a thing though. Regardless, it won't stop them from manhandling and arresting those who continue to fly drones in the presence of their vehicles.

Ok, so I would argue that this is likely completely unlawful. Certainly untenable. The legal justification for the restricting flight privileges over certain government buildings is due to the security needs of a location that similarly has restricted access to your person. In other words, you need special access to go in there, and similarly you need special access to look into there, thus the justification for the no fly zone.

But a government vehicle in motion in public has no more restrictions to observation than any other vehicle in public. There is no restriction to your presence around these vehicles, nor recording them with equipment on your person. In fact, recording government operations that you have legal access to has repeated been upheld as a 1st amendment protected activity so long as you aren't interfering. Drone footage in public airspace does not constitute any more security access than one already possesses in a public space, where security is limited basically to entering the interior of the vehicle (and nothing a drone could see isn't in plain view). There is, therefore, no legal justification for restricting flight privileges in those spaces.

The only reason that they are trying to restrict this is because they are already violating people's 1st Amendment right to record their activities, knocking phones out of people's hands, confiscating devices, threatening or actually arresting those recording, etc. They don't want to be recorded while they kidnap, assault, beat up, and kill people, and it is much harder to knock down a camera attached to a drone 100 feet in the air. I say tough shit, fascists. It should be 100% protected activity. I cant wait for this to be struck down.

But also, how in the hell can someone be in violation of a no fly zone that constantly moves and and does so without any way to track it? How are you supposed to know that your drone is within HALF A MILE of a ICE vehicle, most of which are unmarked SUVs anyway. You could feasibly be standing right next to one and not know that you are. You could be flying your drone completely legally and then the no fly zone moves over your drone, likely with absolutely no way of even knowing that. It would make flying a drone a constant danger of spontaneously and unknowlingly breaking the law. No such law could ever be considered reasonable. It is far too broad.

Yeah, it's not the meat, to me. It's the crunch. No thank you. Also, we rarely eat all parts of the shellfish. We typically remove or otherwise avoid the digestive tract, for example. Can't do that when they are tiny, but the same volume of crickets has as much poop in it as the equivalent volume of shrimp.

Again, fair enough. But I have no interest in reading about the sexual escapades and inner monologue of a common selfish prick, no matter how prevalent they are IRL. If you wrote a book about a Nazi soldier just trying to throw a nice Arian themed dinner party but struggling to get good Swiss cream butter for his strudels because the Allies have halted supply lines, that might be relatable on a human level too, but I dont care to read about it.

Sex represented the humanity, love, and creativity that was being quashed by the authoritarian government,

Yeah, see, that's not how the protag's mindset read to me. He seems almost entirely complacent about the other aspects of his and everyone else's oppression. He even scoffs at the rumors of rebellions and mocks those who would try. The one thing he cares about is his lack of sex.

He very much read as a sexually frustrated incel type from the very beginning, lamenting that he couldn't just sleep with whomever he wanted, not for love, but for passion and lust. Hell, doesn't he have a rape and murder fantasy over some woman (Is it the girl he ends up sleeping with? I cant recall). Like, he's absolutely a piece of shit. But, grain of salt, maybe I'm remembering that wrong. I cant recall a ton of details. So, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

Again, passion and lust are fine. I just couldn't give a shit about your lust when the world is a machine of lies and control. It's far too petty a concern. Their rebellion was far too self-centered, personal and base to be compelling to me. They are entirely apathetic to Big Brother's control over everything, even one's own thoughts, except where it affects themselves and what they personally care about. They will sneak around to sleep together, consume smuggled luxuries, but then do absolutely nothing to benefit anyone else around them. I just dont care about people like that or want to put myself in their minds. I find it distasteful.

He doesn't have to be a good person, that's fair. I just found myself not giving a shit. He lives in a dystopian authoritarian truthless hellscape, and all he cares about is the thrill of getting his dick wet under the Party's nose. His concerns are so small and hedonistic, I just couldn't care less. The backdrop of the world was far more interesting, but the book goes out of its was to not actually dig into all of that too much once the scene is set early on.

I've come to understand that, had I carried on reading, there is some payoff where the nympho turns out to be a honeypot or something? Or both of them are being monitored and get arrested by the regime? Or whatever? That would have made it like 10 percent more interesting I guess, but it just dragged on in his misplaced priorities for far too long to keep me going. A book should not be an exercise in endurance, in my opinion.

Make Nazis afraid again

Didn't read it as a teenager, but had I done so I'm pretty sure that Nineteen Eighty-Four would've fallen into that category. The protag is insufferable and sexist as hell. Never even bothered finishing that one. After the 2nd or third clandestine meeting to fuck the manic pixie dream nympho I was struggling to care anymore.

I never could finish 1984. I got maybe halfway through it and was like 25% interesting world building, 25% a sad, bitter, sexist person lamenting the way of things (particularly that be can't just fuck every woman, but also the lying totalitarian goverment) but also having no spine to even consider doing anything about it, and 50% him sneaking around to fuck some horny manic pixie dream girl against the rules. Unfortunately, id have probably enjoyed it more if I had read it at 16

internal bleeding to the torso

Not in his torso. They're almost certainly just talking about a fucking bruise.

Schumer is alllllmost ready to write that strongly worded letter. He can practically taste the envelope glue.

That's not true. You can't kill someone with one of those Airzooka air blasters. Damn it I've tried. But yeah basically everything else...
