    The Federal Aviation Administration put a drone no fly zone within 3,000 feet of “Department of Homeland Security facilities and mobile assets,” according to a notice to airmen posted by the government. The no fly zone is the same type that the U.S. uses to restrict consumer drones over military bases and Department of Energy (DOE) research centers and facilities. The order appears to attempt to criminalize the use of drones to film Immigration and Customs Enforcement and DHS employees who are detaining people all over the country. The order is particularly notable because it does not apply just to static locations like DHS offices, but also to “vessels and ground vehicle convoys and their associated escorts.” The notice classifies areas within 3,000 feet horizontally and up to 1,000 feet of altitude as no fly zones and as “national defense airspace,” meaning the skies up to a half mile from ICE vehicles in Minneapolis, for example, could fall under this new jurisdiction. The notice states that people who violate the restrictions can be charged criminally, could face civil penalties, and may lose their authority to fly drones in the future. “In addition, [drone] operators who are deemed to pose a credible safety or security threat to protected personnel, fac [facilities], or assets may be mitigated,” it adds, noting that “mitigation may result in the interference interception, seizure, damaging, or destruction of unmanned aircraft deemed to pose a credible safety or security threat to protected personnel, facilities, or assets.” The order replaces a previous no fly zone that applied only to military bases and DOE sites. Military bases and DOE sites are static locations that don’t move. The new no fly zone, called a temporary flight restriction (TFR), applies to DHS employees and vehicles wherever they may be. ICE is notoriously performing raids all over the country with no notice.With the rise of cheap consumer drones, some activists and protesters have used them to film law enforcement and to document police abuse. This no fly zone criminalizes that activity, further cracking down on the tactics protesters can use to keep people safe or film ICE brutality. It is unclear whether any specific incident led DHS to push for the no fly zone. DHS and the FAA did not immediately respond to a request for comment.DHS itself has used its own drones to surveil protesters, including in Minneapolis. In 2020, a Customs and Border Patrol Predator drone surveilled people protesting the police killing of George Floyd, and last year DHS flew Predator drones over anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles. Those aircraft were detected using open source flight records and air traffic control audio. On Monday, videos of aircraft circling over Minneapolis were widely shared on social media, with many people saying the aircraft appeared to be drones. 404 Media has not yet been able to confirm what the aircraft are.

    @ScottStarkey This reminds me of a story that's surely made its rounds a couple times in internet circles about one of the most successful policy wins in the U.S.: Lead-acid battery recycling.Lead-acid batteries are huge environmental risks and addressing these risks means as close to 100% of lead-acid batteries need to be recycled or at least turned in and disposed of properly. Lead-acid batteries are almost entirely recyclable, the running wisdom being only the label on the outside and the paper-like material between the pieces of lead not being fully recyclable.Instead of attacking the problem by punishing or rewarding recycling, the law adds a core charge deposit to new batteries which is substantial to most folk but not outrageous - $22 I think these days. However, if you turn in an old battery at the same time you purchase a new one, that core charge is not applied (since you get the money back but it is immediately applied to the new battery). Further, if you return a battery but don't purchase a new one, you get $22 back.With this regulation, lead-acid batteries are some of the most recycled consumer components out there. Almost everyone wants to avoid the core charge and at the same time, is pleased when it works out in their favor when recycling or turning in a battery.I would say that this rule works because it was designed so people want to follow it, whether or not they like or know anything about the rule at all. The choices are clear and simple to everyone and it takes a lot for someone to be okay with missing out on $22. Further, if that old battery is ever found by anyone else, they immediately have a financial incentive to do the right thing.
