Sure, but this means you now can't fly in a park or any public space without the risk of a police officer coming by and asking to see your registration. I'm assuming police would be empowered to do that?
- bjt2n3904 11y agoIf I'm in a park or public space where it's legal to fly and I'm not a hazard to the public, the police shouldn't come over and ask to inspect my paperwork. The government should not assume I'm breaking the law by default. If I'm at an airport where it's not legal to fly, it doesn't matter if I have a registration or not, I'm already breaking the law.
- bigiain 11y agoI must have missed the bit in the article where they explained how all local cops are going to receive training in "drone inspection" and access to an up-to-date database of registration numbers.
- omni 11y ago> drone owners will receive an FAA identification number that they must display on aircraft How many hours of training do you think it'll take for them to look for and read a sticker? > access to an up-to-date database of registration numbers. Cops probably have smartphones, right? http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/Serial_Inquiry.aspx http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/Serial_Inquiry.aspx
