US drone sightings: NJ police urge government to step up as more spotted in skies

From Global News.

Several police departments in New Jersey came together on Saturday to discuss all the drone sightings residents have reporting around the state since late November.

"We need to have our legislation keep pace with the laws and the operation of drones. It has not,” said Sheriff Shaun Golden of the Monmouth County Sheriff Department. “The FAA has to step up… we don’t have (the FAAs) tech. We don’t have the authority to even take one of these down.”

As to the origin of the drones, Sheriff Michael G. Mastronardy of the Ocean County Sheriff Department shared some speculation his department keeps hearing. “Everybody says, well, ‘It’s the government.’ I don’t know, but I think the government has a responsibility, in my opinion, that if it is them just tell us and we’ll be happy about it.”
