The FAA announced that it would provide a database that could be accessed by local law enforcement, but nearly one year later, local authorities still can't get into it themselves.
"The FAA is working on developing Remote ID data sharing capabilities for law enforcement so they can have access to FAA registration information," the agency said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
