If you are conducting illegal flights you will not register a drone, in fact you would probably consider the drone disposable.

Just like with stolen cars, sometimes something is left behind that traces back to the last user.

  You might be surprised how many vehicle accidents are never solved when the driver flees.

    Yeah, but when you have a witness or a camera you get something more then a color. The scenario I see happening with drones is people crashing them by mistake on innocents heads or property causing damages, since the drone crashed police can read it's serial number and see who the owner is.

      People who follow the rules and make a mistake are the most likely to be caught. They're probably also the least likely to cause trouble or run from the consequences of their actions. > since the drone crashed police can read it's serial number and see who the owner is. Not from the serial number -- but from the pilot's operator ID they received at registration, and then affixed to the side of their drone. Those who are apathetic to the rules, or actively flout them may simply take their drone out of the box and fly it.

        >People who follow the rules and make a mistake are the most likely to be caught. They're probably also the least likely to cause trouble or run from the consequences of their actions. Do you refer to drones only or in general? If in general you think car license plates are useless? > They're probably also the least likely to cause trouble or run from the consequences of their actions Any data or is an opinion? Btw most car related accidents are happening when people do not follow the rules like respecting the speed limit, or not using a phone so why would they follow the "accept the consequences of your actions" rule if they could get away?

I gave a car as an example, you don't know you will cause an accident and kill someone so you will not have removed your licensed plates and erased the serial numbers from the car body.
