    Yep, NH wants to make it illegal to photograph your own private property yourself with no exceptions, I guess these living room flights with GoPro's are coming to an end...

    The government want to take away your guns and aerial video rights, but yet make it OK for them to have guns and make aerial video.  Do Russians have more rights than we do now?

    GPS - Russia is starting to sound good.  If HB-3200 passes, We'll have to consider it.  I'd at least want to move to New York where it's more gun friendly than Oregon.

    Interesting article that Wired calls "How GitHub Helps You Hack the Government".  Not sure about the title, but the article is very interesting indeed.  I stumbled upon the article after reading about a guy who is using GitHub as a tracker for his home improvements and several other non-software related uses for GitHub.

    Here is the hack-the-governmant article:
    http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2013/01/hack-the-government/

    Here is the article that Wired calls "The GitHub Generation: Why We’re All in Open Source Now" and has several references to non-software uses of GitHub:
    http://www.wired.com/opinion/2013/03/github/

    I concluded that maybe GitHub could be a place that people could collaborate on Oregon Senate Bill 71.  Who knows, maybe people might get off their butts and actually fight back a little and help rewrite the SB71 into something we can live with.

    Look at the material from a photographer, Carlos Miller ...

    He posts allot of video when the police conflict with photographers photographing them doing their duty.
    ... Which in the USA, Canada and teh UK ... IN MOST of the FREE world is NOT illegal but the under laying theme is "the POLICE simply don't like it" and have abused their powers when they find themselves being photographed by professional and armature to the general public with their smartphones!

    He also does stories of aerial photography when used to photograph the police doing their job ...

    Carlos Miller ---> http://www.pixiq.com/search/posts/Carlos%20Miller ---> See also: Carlos Miller (Google)

    Yes, it would seem no matter what platform you use to take your images we need to be very careful these days.
    ... Today, photography when in the public eye certainly is a political minefield!

    Perhaps a little good news but more work to be done.
