Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Prisons Have a Big Drone Problem”.
Drug dealers adopt drones according to a recent Vice Report. Law enforcement around the world are noting a market shift in using drones to move drugs across International borders over the past few years, driven in part by consumer drones being becoming larger and increasingly cheap. In 2021, Spanish narcotics police captured a drone with a 13 ft wingspan whoo um capable of carrying 330 lb of cargo. While this was a Mass manufactured, Droid or drone built in China, um built in China in 2022, Spanish authorities, okay yeah found three submersible drones that were manufactured specifically to fairy drugs and capable of carrying 440 lbs of cargo.
Wow drones are also being used to deliver drugs and other Contraband into otherwise difficult to reach areas within countries such as prisons, as reported by officials in the US and Canada yeah. I read an article about this a while back. Apparently, it’s really difficult to stop them because it wouldn’t be a giant 13ft Wings span, one that’s just like yeah coming up to a prison.
It would be little Zippy ones going and you know they have timeout in the yard or whatever else um. There’S very little incentive, I don’t think for the the people who work there to be have 100 % constant monitoring of the all the skies in the area. Yeah like it’s, it’s really difficult problem. You could drop it from pretty high too um. Although, oh last October, the UK government introduced no fly zones around all of their prisons, which of course I mean, if you just have a regulation, that’s going to stop it. That’Ll keep out the Nar, duells yeah, sure jeez, that’s a big drone, 13 ft and that would be able to go pretty high, probably probably, but then would it be better to keep it low from like a radar standpoint, I don’t know no idea, I mean I’m Not involved in Contraband smuggling, so I don’t know enough about radar, know very little about this world isn’t radar specifically worse at picking up small objects. I don’t I do not yeah, but that’s why I was saying if it’s big, it could probably get up high, but it’s also have a lot of space in between the arms I supect stay low. I suspect those arms are thin yeah, but if you have like 330 lbs of anything I’d, imagine that’s that’s fair. I mean considering that they can pick up a little whirly bird or whatever, like that’s, probably got to have some substantial to it. Yeah 330b capable drone could smuggle The Prisoner, never mind the drugs yeah man. I I wonder, if anyone’s tried, I’m surprised we haven’t seen a jailbreak just a drone with like two bars on the bottom, just like get jacked in prison. Just it’s arm day every day and all you do is just like hangs, and so you just like jump up grab the thing and it freaking goes man it’d be dangerous as heck but like compared to staying in prison.
Would I try yeah, I think so? Wow, would you do it if someone arranged a drone to just show up in the yard, would you grab the bottom of it and go? I think it depends on like how long your sentence is you’re in there for 10 years. Let’S say 10 years: you will be, you know, 40, Whatever by the time you’re out. If I have a chance of getting out of the country and thus not an insanely High chance of just being put back in, I don’t think you have to get out of the country no like. If you go legit and just like live a quiet life, I think you could probably go somewhere like interior BC or, like you know, oil fields, Alberta or something just like work.
Unof in an unofficial capacity, you could probably lay low you don’t think people are going to report like the guy that wants to work, but refuses to give you a. I think, you’d be surprised how many people are just like that anyway, regardless of their pasts. I was another article I was reading recently was about the sort of uncomfortable truths that are being Unearthed by services like 23 and me um, and I just want to make my position on them clear. You shouldn’t use them.
They’Re super super bad, not just for you, but also for anyone related to you, uh anyway uh. But what was interesting about this was there’s. This family that found out that, like Grandpa, was a completely different person from who they thought he was. He never played with Babe Ruth um. He like had a completely different family that he just abandoned, and this was just it didn’t match anything. They knew him. They knew him as like a loving father and grandfather and didn’t realize that he had just walked away from his responsibility in the US before he moved up to Canada or something like that, I don’t know allegedly um, that’s unfortunate any.
Who 10 years I have heard of a crazy amount of people finding out that, like their parents like someone cheated on somebody or something cuz they’re like huh, I don’t have anything from this line. That’S weird uh, um, yeah and also just like family lies in general. Yeah uh that that might come from oh yeah, we have Irish, you know Heritage or whatever, it’s like.
What are you talking about? No, we don’t. In some cases, I’ve heard that those were very well-intentioned actually, but it was eventually forgotten that it was a lie. If that makes sense, yeah that makes sense um because like they did So to avoid persecution or yada yada y um, but then eventually the the lie was kept, so secret cuz.
It was so important that it just was forgotten eventually, but top 10 drones that get you out of prison that’d be a good video man. The the propellers on that thing would be scary as, like an April Fool’s video like how to break out of prison. Am I am I going to have to buy another cantaloupe smuggling drones, oh man, so you smuggle in a swarm of tiny drones, yeah in people’s butts and they all work together to lift you. Oh man, oh jeez, was that the first video you worked on or something dad. No, it was one of the first requests I got for a video um. I don’t think I’d been here very long. I was working in logistics and, of course it was like uh. Hey, we need a cantaloupe for this video uh. Why? Why do you want a calou? Oh, it needs to be an analog for somebody’s butt, we’re going to put a phone in it, butt phone butt phone.
All right! I should have stayed at my last job. What they didn’t have butt phones at your last job, no boring. I signed up to manage inventory, not butt phones, inventory of the butt phone yeah. Technically, we also had to do that.
We have to find it first. Oh, it’s very uncomfortable time to I find the phone we knew exactly where it was okay, oh boy. What even is this show who knows? Oh wow, a Griff Aviation 300 can carry 227 kg or 500 lb of weight.
It only has a flight time of 31 minutes. You could get pretty far in 31 minutes, but you, but that’s yeah. 15 km range. Sorry, Griff AV, Griff Aviation, there’s an eang 184 that can carry 220 pounds and go 30 kilometers. That’S far enough away! That you’d be kind of hard to track down, I’m looking at there’s a jaav cw-80 that can carry 55 lb and it has a flight time of 840 minutes or 100 to 200 kilm, which is like wow, okay.
What am I looking at? How big is it tell me how big it is G 30, the one I was looking at was a Griff Aviation 300, not 30. This I hate websites like this looks really annoy oh yeah. I would like it to take forever to navigate your website. Why don’t you make a site like that? That thing also doesn’t need to fully take over the screen? It only covered half the screen with information.
How big is it how about a single picture with any kind of a banana or something? I need something for scale? How about a banana? That’S perfect! Ah, this is useless. Forget it! I give up okay uh what else we got. Brands use AI influencers. I mean this is pretty funny.
Oh here here here I got it. You got it okay, but that’s a mountain funky. Looking how Luke, how is that supposed to help me know how big it is? Okay, here we go here. We oh wait Max size.
Here we go. It’S 3.4 M long. Wait! Oh 3,400 M wait. What is even that? Okay, I don’t know that looked I sorry. I I thought it: okay, sorry. What is it so? I’M I’m reading this off of a TV over there.
I thought it was 3.4 M, which would kind of make sense, but height is. Is that 600? What sorry? What 6 M would make more sense? Oh Kil. 3.4 kilm size length that doesn’t make any sense – it’s probably it’s probably millimeters, and there was a typo yeah.
Okay, so 3.4 M, then probably yeah they’re about that big. Okay me for height yeah, that’s that’s about how how big they should be yeah. So Mills is what they they were going for.
There yeah .
