Should the government permit the use of drones for commercial purposes?

drones are cool, but should only be used for vlogging or music video purposes. Nobody wants to walk outside and see drones flying everywhere, just for commercials.

Only if they are able to make a decent amount of money off it, to help soical programs or something.

Yes, If it recieves a permit with a justified reason that doesn't interfere with the public's privacy

Permits to drones should be available but limited. Its one thing to use a drone to deliver a parcel as this saves on vehicles on the roads its another to use a drone for marketing and sales tactics.

no there have been too many close calls of private drones in contact with public and private aviation. At least not until it can be properly regulated and made safe.

The question of whether the government should permit the use of drones for commercial purposes involves multiple factors, including economic benefits, privacy concerns, safety, and regulation.

In Favor of Permitting Drones for Commercial Purposes:
Economic Growth: Drones can revolutionize industries such as agriculture, delivery, photography, and infrastructure inspection. By permitting their commercial use, the government would open up new business opportunities, creating jobs and contributing to economic growth.
Innovation and Efficiency: Drones improve efficiency in tasks like surveying lar…  Read morege areas, delivering goods quickly, and inspecting dangerous or hard-to-reach places. Commercial drone use can encourage technological innovation, leading to better services and reduced costs for businesses and consumers.
Environmental Benefits: In some cases, drones can offer more environmentally friendly solutions, such as reducing the need for trucks in delivery services or enabling precision agriculture, which minimizes waste and overuse of resources.
Concerns and Challenges:
Privacy Issues: Drones can pose significant privacy risks by capturing images or videos of people and properties without consent. Regulations would need to be in place to protect individuals from potential surveillance and data misuse.
Safety Risks: The use of drones in crowded areas or near airports can create serious safety hazards. If not properly regulated, drones could interfere with air traffic or injure people on the ground.
Regulatory Challenges: Effective regulation is crucial to ensuring drones are used responsibly. Setting up rules about where and when drones can fly, licensing pilots, and ensuring compliance would be essential. Enforcement could be challenging and costly for the government.
Conclusion:
Permitting the use of drones for commercial purposes can bring significant economic and societal benefits, but it must be accompanied by well-thought-out regulations to address privacy, safety, and airspace management. With a

Yes but with serious privacy regulations and robust tracking to ensure they are being used within the regulations.

They could, but overall I don't think it's very important compared to some other issues listed here.

It would have to depend on what someone Is using the drone for and to keep in mind if it is bothering anyone while it's in use.

Yes but limit where they can fly and make sure to have a job to monitor where the drones are headed and what they are doing

Yes, however if someone uses drones with mail intention they will face consequences and will no longer be aloud to use drones.

If privacy and anonymity are respected, creates more jobs. Id perfect my fine capabilities ASAP, you saw how those rebels were operating in the red area

yes as long as the drone does not trustpass on other property, and consent of filming for all who might be seen by the drone.

With the correct regulations, drones can be a profitable and prosperous industry. But regulations are key.

Use of drones itself is not a threat but people with I'll mentality can easily misuse them to do their stuff

It depends on what the drones will be used for. If it harms anyone, or has the possibility of harming people, then no. Otherwise, yes, but with strict regulations.

As long as they are not trespassing on any other land, or doing nothing illegal, I think drones are good for commercials

No, citizens feel as if they are being monitored (like rats in cages) and will be filmed at any time. Also, drones are silent machines and citizens are unable to hear if the drones are near or not.

Certain smaller and less dangerous drones should be permitted, while larger more dangerous ones should not be

Yes, but with restrictions. Also depending on the legitimacy of the corporation and all regulations must be within federal laws.

drones aren't the best way to transport goods as they can be shot down by others and aren't reliable

Check the commercial companies that want to use them and limit civilians using professional drone technology because we don’t what it’s for. (Security reasons)

Yes, as long as anyone in any photos or recordings taken give their consent to be in the commercial media

Yes, if they work with no faults

Irrelevant. If drones help make people safe, definitely. If drones are used to spy on Canadians, no. By drones, do you mean quadcopters or quad bikes?

To an extent, for things like advertising and such sure

Sure this would be very creative but also concerning

yes, but don't do anything illegal with them.

Every situation is different, laws that protect civilian privacy need to be clear and enforcement needs to be used

with some rules and regulations

If if does not violate any laws of privacy and security and is used only for commercial uses following legal restrictions it should be allowed.

I suppose it would depend on what the product for the commercial is for

Yes, if it is controlled and used in property.

For important buisnesses

yes but only with consent from the people in the video.

yes but let the people in the arey know

In highly controlled environments with the notice of residents and peoples residing in the area.

Yes, but provide training and jobs for people who will be replaced

No, but there should be laws against them for the sake of privacy

Only if licensed to do so. Follow safety standards and laws.

Yes, as long as it's safe for the public and passes safety examinations.

yes and no because it would be weird seeing a drone flying around your house

It could be 50/50

Depends on the regulations, usage, privacy, etc

Yes, but only if they don’t show property they don’t own, nor see for themselves off screen.

Yes, but there should be safeguards against the government being able to tap into them and use them as surveillance cameras

They can but only to the extent they are used reasonably and no safety and privacy measures are compromised.

Only in certain cases.

If the drone is used in a business project within the law, then it should be allowed. If someone is using a drone to accomplish illegal business commerce, then it should be banned.

i don’t really care

Yes, but only if it's actually more environmentally friendly than using other forms of transport. Also there should be regulations in place to make sure there are no collisions with other drones, people, buildings, trees, birds, and other wildlife.

If it benefits us

In public areas only.

yes, only in certain circumstances.

If a threat than yes

I am uneducated on this issue.

If given a permit post thorough inspection and training

No, this could be used to give spies a better chance of spying on government property or civilians

Yes but with extreme oversite that is not controlled by military or policing agencies.

as long as its not on private property

yes, there should be privacy concerns

Drones can be used for commercial purposes but, they should increase safety features and tracking.

Yes, but only when no one's job is at risk.

In a capitalist sense it's bad but if we were socialists yes

Doesn’t really effect me

Don’t have an opinion on that

If need be.

Yes, depending on area of usage

i don’t have a say.

Yes, with permits and regulations to respect other's privacy and airspace

Yes, provided they are used in a controlled environment.

In public envronemts that do not violate or harm the peace, noice, sleep, rights, ect of people.

Yes, as long as they don't invade people's privacy and always ask permission from people.and listen to people.

Yes, as long as they dont go using for different uses accept for, commercial, music video, youtube their blogs.

As long as the drone operator is permitted to do so

I am 50/50 on this, there definitely being some benefits but thinking of some disadvantages

Should have regulations

i don't have an opinion on this subject.

Yes, as long as it doesn't invade any privacy.

the government should get his nose out of our business.

Yes, but at a cost and with a licence

Goveenment has no business in the drone market

both. with permission of people and land your drone is over

This is because some people could be spying on government projects that are not meant to be seen by the public.

It depends on what type of commercial purpose

It depends on the type of commercial advertising

Yes, if they fly them in legal areas like open fields but not in neighbourhoods in public areas.

If given permission from the area

The use of drones should depend on the location they are being used

nothing else other than like delivery companies

In a way, they should but only if they really have to.

What can a drone do?

yes as long they are aware of there surroundings

Only if they choose to obey the laws and respect surrounding people

Yes, and no. Yes, as from the government perspective, since it will be environmental friendly and all time operating. No, from the company's perspective since it will be costly for the drone installation but also will be cheaper in long run as it would replace the human resource needed to do the work.
Thus, it depends what points are being considered in order to determine the correct answer.

d ssy only if people are not being spyed on and it is used for bussiness purposes.

Only for trusted companies

Yes, as long as it is not infringing on the rights of private property owners.

Yes, But this needs to be properly regulated
