It's 100% ignorance. And there's no requirement to be technically competent thanks to ez-mode consumer drones. The problem is there's no certification or training requirement, there's no barrier to entry. Any cretin can go and buy something like a DJI Inspire, not read any of the rules/regulations, not understand how dangerous it is, and fly it straight into their neighbour's garage door. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TQQcBWV6Vs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TQQcBWV6Vs There's a small handful of people who know the rules and choose to break them, but they're also the people who will immediately land and bail if they hear air traffic because they understand that the consequences of any fuckups will be life-ruining. The guys holding back firefighting operations are just clueless idiots.
