It is not excessive, if one operates a drone recklessly with no regards for air traffic over a busy city… well, that behavior is endangering many.
As far as I am concerned, he is no better than someone who tries to blind pilots with a laser pointer (and there's precedent for that):

Kudos to the FAA for nipping that in the bud.
- Clubber 6y agoHow about speeding tickets then? Speeders certainly endanger many. Would you argue that a $182,000 speeding ticket isn't excessive either? If not, what's the differentiator in your opinion?
- hh3k0 6y agoHonestly? If someone drives as recklessly as the fined has piloted his drone and in a similiar setting i.e. a busy city… yes, please. By all means, fine a multiple offender $182,000 for repeatedly endangering a great number of human lives.

- Rebelgecko 6y agoIf you're able to endanger a comparable number of lives while driving, you're probably a bus driver who will receive more serious punishment for speeding than someone in their Honda Civic
