In this event the FAA detailed how to follow aircraft administrative law, and prosecute infractions criminally by use of local codes and ordinances. There were mentions of making arrests and finding means to foster prohibitions on model UAS and news reporting sUAS while the FAA has not completed the legal rule making process. Instead of following procedure the FAA has used court rulings as an end run around their Congressional mandates and required timelines for rule completion. In the meeting they stated they had completed only 2 years of a 4 year program in rule making.
