Of course there will be legitimate uses for drones, no one is saying we should ban drones. However, if they use drones to inspect power lines (for example, after a storm, it might be easier to send drones to get an idea of how bad damage is), they likely also will notify people about it, the way they do when they are going to cut down trees. Commercial users generally would also have licenses to do so and would be covered by liability insurance if they caused damage doing what they do. There is both a legitimate reason for the use and accountability. If Amazon (God forbid) gets permission to use drones, it will be licensed as well.
Someone mentioned that aircraft and helicopters fly over property, which is correct, but there are also FAA regulations that establish floors on altitude and the paths those aircraft take. If a helicopter drops down to treetop level over your property, unless they are law enforcement looking at something odd, or some other purpose, the pilot can be fined, lose his license and or go to jail for doing so, so could a plane pilot. The punk teenager looking for an open window to peep into, or looking to drop down on traffic thinking it would be funny to scare people, today has no such law regulating it. The argument that drones are toys, or they pose no threat, is idiotic, and the idea that government has no right to regulate them, which I have heard, is absurd. Put it this way, the airwaves in the US are technically public, yet you don’t have the right to broadcast anyway you want to. There is low power transmission, under part 15, that allows for things like limited distance radio control (drones fall under that with their transmitters), but if you abuse that, you can get in trouble. Other forms of transmission are licensed, to prevent problems.
Drones also can be used to deliver payloads, some of the bigger ones you can buy for home use can carry incendiary devices or some form of explosives and do some real damage. Right now there really isn’t any tracking, you could walk into a store selling these things, pay cash, and have something pretty untraceable.
Unfortunately, with our broken legal system and with so called ‘libertarians’ claiming any government regulation is evil, that people should be allowed to do what they want, I am not holding my breath. Congress it seems can’t even decide what brand of coffee to have in chamber and whether toilet paper in the restrooms should be over the top or hanging down, so we expect action on this? What amazes me is the FAA hasn’t acted on this and issued regulations for safety, and also in extending penalties for illegally flying in air traffic lanes to drones, they way they already exist for model airplanes and rockets.
It is probably still “good law,” as they say.
