I don't think the dangers need to be downplayed.
The incidence does need to be looked at. I think we blame drones for all sorts of things that are not drones these days.
- bdamm 11y agoThere are already many cases on the books of drones flying into approach paths of airliners in many airports, including several into JFK. Just last week there was a case of a police helicopter that had a very close call with a drone (the helicopter pilot did execute collision avoidance, and police on the ground tracked the drone operator.) Incidence is there and rising.
- mizchief2 11y agoSo what difference would registration make in that case? I have no problem with prosecuting people who do stupid and dangerous things with drones, but making everyone who buys a toy to fly on their own property under 100ft is over reaching and treats everyone like a criminal.
