Is so good to see some positive or good news about drones against so much negative publicity towards drone flying.

In my opinion, I think it would be a good idea to share news like this in our own social media so we get out the good perception on drones because people are getting the wrong message from so many irresponsible flying of a few users (like those flying right next to airport runways, etc.) and those are the news that get more attention.

DJI drones helped track and stop the Notre Dame fire

I have to add that if you look carefully at the image above you see on  the top and bottom borders something that it seems to be a picture from  an helicopter, but then further down in the same article there is this  other image witch indeed is a DJI controller.

Drone hate is an agenda born out of fear and paranoia.

In usa DJI sold 2.2 million drones in 2017 alone. Official stats found about 3500 drone sightings reported by aviation people like pilots , techs etc...Only small percentage was dimmed unsafe. The rest are just sightings. 3500 out more than 2000000 milion drones.

Maybe you mean deemed unsafe, or where they unsafe because of bad light .....

Two headed coin.

Yes, non-commercial drone pilots should be able to fly their drones over houses and people like commercial drone companies (thanks to large campaign donations).

No, in regards to privacy for non-commercial and commercial drones.  My privacy, my property, my airspace.
Photographers, perverts, private detectives, and press are not allowed to Trespass onto private property.  Should be same for flying above private property.   

Compromise: ?
Over private property, no aircraft or drone is allowed to fly below 400-feet, without permission of property owner.  
Reason for 400-feet?  Has been previously tossed around in courts as possible airspace owned by property owner.

Raise maximum altitude for non-commercial drones to 500-feet.

Raise maximum altitude for commercial drones to 600-feet.  Set a minimum altitude when not landing for or taking off from deliveries???

Raise minimum altitude for aircraft (planes & helicopters) to 700-feet, when not taking off or landing.

I don't like idea of more bloody laws.  But to save us from total outright ban, it may be our only choice.  
We simply do not have clout ($$$$) that companies like Amazonia, WallyMart, Goooogle, FedUPS have.
Politicians will cave to general populace's FUD, when it comes to non-commercial drones.  They might even cave to general populace when it comes to Private property, because it also satisfies uber wealthy campaign donors.

This is exactly how I saw it a while back.  Unfortunately, 'justice' is tipped to favor those with money and resources.
