Why would you allow drones near moving vehicles in the first place, ICE or not?

The FAA needs to get off its ass with drones, it’s only a matter of time before some dipshit trying to get TikTok footage or an actual bad actor brings down a fucking airliner with one of these. It’s insane to me how unregulated drones generally are.

ICE is not driving airliners on the streets

Why wouldn't you? There are moving vehicles everywhere. If a drone who's weight is measured in grams is a problem being near moving vehicles, what do you think about 200 pounds of person and bicycle riding around moving vehicles?

6/10ths of a mile?

What are you talking about. Read part 107. Flying a drone is almost as hard as flying legally a private plane. Fines are huge. They are enforced.
