![]() ![]() I'm a Republican myself, and I'll just throw it out there, and I don't care what flak I get for it.īut I typically don't agree with what most Democratic senators say. Now, Senator Pizzo is a Democrat, and I typically don't really agree with most Democratic agendas. Shame on you.”Īnd that vendor was Skydio. When I leave, when I die, when I don't get elected, you can do that all day long. He says, ‘Do you realize, when he's going up in the space shuttle, we're sitting on two million moving parts built by the lowest bidder?' Don't ever do that again. I don't want to know there's an old joke from Steve Buscemi in Armageddon. Do you hear what I'm saying? These are men's and women's lives. You know, I'm going to take my leave for a couple of minutes because here's what you don't do: you don't come to the Florida State Senate and hand up a piece of paper when the lives of men and women are at risk if we go and use that technology. Uh, Andoril is another that has offered to buy the inventories to the extent that it makes sense,” said Secretary DMS Pedro Allende. Hmm, Senator, it was simply an example of the vendor community coming to be responsive to the users. You're sitting in a committee, and you just held up a piece of paper that the manufacturer just handed you and represented that to this body,” Senator Pizzo said. I just want to sort of sift through and bifurcate the political theater versus reality. “President Passidomo's gonna get angry at me. When he was pressured by Senator Pizzo about where he got this information from, he said it came from a vendor. Secretary DMS Pedro Allende, who is appointed by Governor DeSantis, got a chance to talk and he started touting all these facts. Florida Senator Pizzo tells it like it is ![]() That's what they were talking about in this meeting. Real-world use case does not lie, and unfortunately, the X2 falls short of expectations when it comes to First Responders. It's actually less effective than you would think, even though all of Skydio's creative marketing says otherwise. ![]() Unfortunately, the Skydio X2 and the Skydio S2 are just not capable of doing so. And they want it to do whatever they need it to do in the moment to be able to save a life. ![]() They started putting their X2s and their Skydio drones in the hands of law enforcement.īut as you know, most law enforcement officers are pretty much the average Joe. Skydio saw that there was an open end, an opportunity, and they began pouncing. Probably more than in any other state because this is the first state that has a clear-cut set of rules to effectively ban the use of Chinese-built drones, and again, that's called the sUAS Blue List. So, if you're not aware, Skydio has been doing a ton of lobbying here in the State of Florida. Skydio lobby effectively costs people's lives And they also talked about the replacements being inadequate and unsafe, referring to Skydio drones. They talked about how they saved lives, how it made their jobs easier. The premise of this committee meeting was to give agencies, law enforcement, and first responders around the state the ability to talk about their use and experience using these drones that they've been using for the past four years. There was also the DMS Secretary, Pedro Allendre, present as well. Senate Committee Meeting in FloridaĪlright, so to take you back, about a week ago, there was a committee meeting between four senators, two Democratic senators, and two Republican senators. So that's what we're talking about in this video. This is something I should have talked about long ago, but it was something that I didn't want to discuss simply because it revolves around politics, and I had two rules on this channel: no religion and no politics.īut it's inevitable there's no way to get around this. It's something that needs attention, awareness, and logical thought. The reason why I want to talk about this, and I feel like it's important to discuss, is that this is an epidemic that could spread to other states if we're not careful. Banning Chinese-made drones can spread to other states! You can own it if you want to use it privately, but if you're on the job as law enforcement, you can't use DJI or any Chinese-related drone, for that matter. However, Governor DeSantis has recently put his foot down and said that's it no more. Agencies had to do whatever they could to migrate off the use of Chinese-related drones, but as you know, there aren't very many options out there for American-made drones that can even compete with Autel, let alone DJI. ![]()
