Illegal or not, people do things they shouldn’t. I’m surprised we’ve never seen a drone interfering at the Super Bowl or buzzing a golfer this weekend at Augusta. Seems like they could fly in from a long way away, zip out and dodge any police and even land far away if piloted from a moving car. Almost impossible to catch mid flight. So why hasn’t some nefarious individual done this yet? Transponder type identification on those things?

I have drones, all DJIs.
1. They weren’t too expensive, but expensive enough that I don’t want to have to re-buy one if I crash it or get it confiscated.
2. I don’t feel like making the FAA mad, that seems like a bad time.
3. I once accidentally tried to fly over a no-fly zone and my drone was not having it. It just landed. Your drone landing away from you is scary business, because it can get destroyed or lost pretty easily, so most drone pilots don’t want that.
4. People DO act like dicks with drones. I try really hard to be respectful and shit, but I’ve been harassed for flying my drone, and all I ever fly over is nature.
