- leetcrew 6y agoit should be of particular concern to drone hobbyists. perhaps things have changed since I got bored of flying drones, but I recall it being very hard to operate a drone completely legally. the rules I knew of were themselves a pain to follow; the worst was the requirement to notify every helipad within five miles or so. at the time, I could use airmap to get a list of numbers for all the helipads in my area, but the listed numbers were often some random person's cell. even when I went through the entire list and dutifully called each number, I'm not 100% sure I fulfilled the legal obligation. I always wondered if I was in violation of any state/local laws I was totally unaware of. it seems pretty rare that any drone laws are actually enforced against hobbyists, but the penalties are pretty stiff. having flight data copied back to a remote server for authorities to pore over later seems like a pretty substantial risk.

- leetcrew 6y agoI concede they are in a tough and uncertain spot with so much drone regulation still up in the air. still, it's always gross to see a company enthusiastically aiding the prosecution of its own customers.
