Some companies do use things like a mavic 2 pro for inspections, which consumers also purchase, there are no specific marking requirements (other than strobe if authorized for night operations) that a part 107 operated UAS would have that would be visible from the ground compared to the same hardware operated by a hobbyist. If it's large and expensive the likelihood that it's some random person decreases, it's easy for a UAS with a thermal camera to be $8,000+.

Or it's a fake thermal camera for $8 -- just some plastics but nothing inside. How is anyone a bit away going to know? Threat modeling wise, these things could be bad & dangerous in one, two, three, four, more, different ways

  I'd be vastly more concerned about the number of people dying from getting shot or in traffic accidents/drunk driving every year in the USA than people weaponizing hobbyist level drones. > Threat modeling wise, these things could be bad & dangerous in one, two, three, four, more, different ways you could say that about a Toyota Camry

    I don't think anybody is going to break into my house because they surveilled the place with a drone. I do worry about feeling less secure on my property because someone keeps watching me in the backyard with a drone and I have no way of finding out who it is. There are plenty of fantastic things that drones can do, I just want greater accountability in knowing who is doing what. There's a reason trucks from Rando Contractor LLC carry a giant "VERIZON CONTRACTOR" sign on the side.

    You can be concerned about gingivitis even though heart disease continues to exist.
