TL;DR Summary

New restrictions on drones manufactured by a "foreign country of concern" in Florida have left local police, firefighters, and mosquito control teams scrambling to maintain normal operations and ensure basic safety. The ban technically applies to drones manufactured in more than half a dozen countries, but its most clear target is dominant Chinese drone-making giant DJI, whose products are widely used amongst government agencies. Local officials and law enforcement opposed to the ban worry the sudden departure from trusted DJI drones to inferior US-made alternatives could unnecessarily put workers' safety in jeopardy to score some cheap, tough-on-China political points.
