TULSA, OKLA. (KTUL) — An 18-year-old motorcyclist was arrested early Friday morning after speeding around Tulsa.
The Tulsa Police Helicopter, known as SkySnitch, was patrolling the city when its crew spotted the motorcycle reaching speeds between 120 and 150 mph .  https://ktul.com/news/local/teen-motorcyclist-arrested-after-speeding-in-tulsa-police-department-skysnitch-helicopter-crew-quiktrip-guel-gas-pursuit-other-agencies-outside-city-limits-vehicle-impounded-expired-tag-license-plate-aggravated-speeding

Cool nickname. Sounds like it was used well by TPD without a ground pursuit by them, probably assisted the other agencies as well. Rider was an idiot to double back and then decided "Hey, I need gas before I go home"  pulled into a QT less than a mile from TPD Central and was arrested.

Because a helicopter flying without ADS-B has already killed an airliner full of people, but we should really be afraid of a hobbyists drone?  https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?4762991-Homeland-Security-Committee-urges-requiring-Digital-Flight-Authorizations

The drone that the military helicopter collided with surveying Hill Country Texas floods was a Search and Rescue involved drone. That was one of the examples used in the Committee.  Can't use that now.
