I just read the following not sure if the UK government will follow

A new US drone register will help promote a "culture of accountability" the administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Michael Huerta has told BBC Click.
Existing drone owners have until 19 February 2016 to put their details online. Anyone who does not comply could face heavy fines.
The FAA has said that in "severe cases" of drone abuse a criminal prosecution could result in a $250,000 (£175,000) fine and a maximum of three years in prison.

OMG now found this

The EU is being urged to create an online register of drone owners.

The recommendation was made by the House of Lords EU Committee, which has been looking into what rules are needed to safeguard the use of unmanned aircraft.

It suggests the database would initially include businesses and other professional users, and then later expand to encompass consumers.

However, one expert questioned how useful such a register would be.

The committee's report warned that over-regulation risked stifling the drone industry, estimating that it could be responsible for creating as many as 150,000 jobs across Europe by 2050.

Even so, it suggested that creating the database would help the authorities manage and keep track of drone traffic.

Meh.    I'm not worried about it.

Here in the US,  we register our cars, our pets,  even ourselves (Social Security Number).

And, considering that you have to register other types of aircraft (hot air balloons, ultra-lights, Light Sport Aircraft (LSA), general aviation, etc.)  - It doesn't bother me too much.

And, in the back of my mind,  there is always the thought that our US government is too inefficient to do much harm to me - in regards to registering my quadcopter.

If they ever make us start registering our speech, or our thoughts  -  then I'll get upset.

That could be closer than you think.  Do you know what the NSA is up to?

You can't really tell, but you're already thinking what they want you to think.  You simply can't tell.
