In a world full of horrors and violence Terrorists and crime The gov is more concerned about UAVS flying around  But someone has to keep us i in line.

It won't last. There has to be a bit of whip cracking. And frankly, if someone is using a drone in a dangerous manner and bragging with online video...they deserve to be reprimanded.

There are ZERO  "Laws" for drones, ZERO -

I'm sick of people talking out their lower orifice, especially when they post the word, "Illegal".
In order for something to be illegal, a written LAW has to be broken.
There are no such laws to find. If you are speeding and a cop gives you a ticket, he HAS to write down a specific law number on the ticket.

As far as "someone is using a drone in a dangerous manner"
This sentence has NOTHING to do with drones, and EVERYTHING to do about "dangerous manner".
You could get ticketed for operating a lawnmower in a "dangerous manner".
You could get ticketed for operating a Kite in a "dangerous manner".
You could get ticketed for operating a car in a "dangerous manner".
You could get ticketed for operating a wood chipper in a "dangerous manner".
You could get ticketed for operating a forklift in a "dangerous manner".

The ticket or law broken is for "endangering others" or "other's property",  it is NOT for doing so with a drone, a lawn mover, car, etc.

Typically the guys on this site who post the word "illegal" are often the most clueless of the group -

Find me a LAW that says John can/t fly above 400ft, look it up as if you were writing a ticket, (post the law number that was violated)?

I have always "voluntarily" followed the FAA suggested "rules" , but that's all they are, "suggested rules" NOT "Laws" -

There is a reason for the ceiling limit  and we all know what it is . 400 feet .I want to fly by what ever the FAA says, as I do not want to get grounded by others .Safe flying is the only way to go .This video supports what you are saying but safe is always better . I was at 350 feet  last week and had to drop fast as a private plane was coming at me .They also do not play by the rules .Nearest airport is 18 miles away .Guess Napa Valley has different rules ,not.

FAA advise for now.

    Fly below 400 feet and remain clear of surrounding obstacles
    Keep the aircraft within visual line of sight at all times
    Remain well clear of and do not interfere with manned aircraft operations
    Don't fly within 5 miles of an airport unless you contact the airport and control tower before flying
    Don't fly near people or stadiums
    Don't fly an aircraft that weighs more than 55 lbs
    Don't be careless or reckless with your unmanned aircraft – you could be fined for endangering people or other aircraft
Also you do need a licence from them if you are chargeing money for videos or photos, but you knew that ??

The post is NOT old, and if you have already seen it, why would you come here and ask me?
