- BONUS: FAA Sued for Illegal Remote IDFAA Sued for Illegal Remote ID | Lawsuit Outcome to Impact UAS Policy, UTM, and UAS IntegrationToday's show is about RaceDayQuads, a hobby shop with a large financial stake in the sUAS do-it-yourself world, filing a lawsuit against FAA over Remote ID. They argue that Remote ID violates Constitutional guarantees.RaceDayQuads sued the FAA in April early 2021 and filed the above arguments on August 4, 2021. Next, the FAA will reply to the argument in writing, which is due September 3, 2021. Then, RaceDayQuads will reply to their reply, due September 23, 2021. After that, The Department of Justice (DOJ) and RaceDayQuads will argue in court in front of a judge, which will likely happen this winter. The ruling is expected in the Spring of 2022.The outcome of this lawsuit will impact UAS policy, UTM, and UAS integration into the NAS. Updates will come as the lawsuit continuesWhat is the Lawsuit About?The argument alleges that tracking and recording GPS location violates the Fourth Amendment.The lawsuit cites Carpenter v. United States to assert that Remote ID is “more intrusive” than technology “already recognized as unconstitutional.”The argument alleges that the concept of FRIAs create a forced association with a private, dues-collecting organization to exercise privilege in the public airspace. This, the suit argues, is a violation of the First Amendment.The argument alleges that a private entity being able to deny access to public services violates Fifth Amendment protections.RaceDayQuads goes on to argue over the actual authority of the FAA. They assert that Congress has authorized the FAA to regulate “navigable airspace”…“above minimum altitude,” but that the Remote ID rule uses broader terminology than their authority, allowing themselves to regulate “airspace of the United States” (e.g., to the ground). The suit claims that backyards or below tree lines et cetera do not count as navigable airspace. As an aside, the suit also complains about not being able to register a park or one’s back yard as a FRIA.Donate, and Support the cause: https://www.gofundme.com/f/savefpvGet Your Biggest and Most Common Drone Certificate Questions Answered by Downloading this FREE Part 107 PDFMake sure to get yourself the all-new Drone U landing pad!Get your questions answered: https://thedroneu.com/.If you enjoy the show, the #1 thing you can do to help us out is to subscribe to it on iTunes.
