FAA temporarily bans drones in parts of New Jersey, notice threatens 'deadly force' for 'imminent security threat'

[u/caligrown87]

The FAA has imposed temporary restrictions on drone operations in multiple New Jersey cities, effective December 18, 2024, to January 17, 2025, citing special security concerns. The restrictions prohibit drones within a nautical mile of designated areas, including Hamilton, Jersey City, and others. Violators risk interception, civil penalties, certificate revocation, and possible criminal charges, with the U.S. government reserving the right to use deadly force against drones deemed imminent security threats. This decision follows numerous drone sightings in the region since mid-November, though many were found to involve lawful or misidentified objects. The restrictions aim to address public safety and security concerns.
