I don't think a person needs to be self-absorbed or arrogant to flash their drone. It reminds me of jailbreaking when iPhones first came out. We were warned it

I don't think a person needs to be self-absorbed or arrogant to flash their drone. It reminds me of jailbreaking when iPhones first came out. We were warned it would void our warranty and possible we could go to jail for hacking our own device. But we did it anyways because I like to have full control over my devices. I would want the same with my drone. Why? Because though I would respect a no fly zone in a fire situation I may not do the same if my government was arbitrarily placing them up during protests or to prevent people from recording human rights issues.

Actions like BART blocking cellphones show that the government is entirely willing to make arbitrary technology restrictions to squash protests. If drones were widely available in Nazi Germany, would they have been allowed to fly near concentration camps? Pass whatever silly laws you want, but don't call those who preserve their tools and freedoms arrogant and self absorbed -- save those labels for the assholes who actually interfere with firefighting operations.
