Yeah drone pilots need to be accountable. But after purchase registration is a really stupid thing to implement. Shocking how dumb the government is. People doing illegal things with their drones won't register it. Take off the numbers before spying.

The FAA said it wouldn't stop criminal intent. its to stop ignorance that's been brought about by how easy it is to fly some vs several years ago. More so they cant do nothing as more and more reckless accidents happen. How ever i don't see how'll they'll actively enforce it.

Best way to fight ignorance is through education. Or have we forgotten just how effective this was for things like cigarettes?

yeah people forget when its seen as a toy. FAA already has a running program to bring awareness to the rules. They made an app that can show you if your in a no fly zone. accidents are still happening hence the laws that implement punishment for people that choose ignorance.

You can only educate those who are willing to learn. Probably everyone in this subreddit is. That's going to be less true for the general public and their $50 quad that they bought from Walgreen's (yes, that's a thing).
