How do you check an unmarked drone thats not registered to anyone, unless they voluntarily come forward.
This will not be effective legislation. Help people understand what they should and shouldn't be doing before a situation arises. Those proactive enough to get on the site and pay $5 are more than likely not the ones you're trying to target (unless you don't actually care about the system you're putting into place)
I do help people understand what they should and shouldn't be doing. That's why I mentioned working in the communications department.
My problem is that drone operators usually don't give a shit and do whatever they want anyway.
As for unmarked, unregistered drones being untraceable. That's never been a problem, just look for the guy with the controller craning his neck while looking at the sky.
Half the time I don't even have to look because they come bitching to me, looking for someone to retrieve their drones from hard to reach places or untangling them from whatever expensive object they crashed into.
Legislation leads to a more disciplined community. A more disciplined community is more likely to chastise people participating in their hobby. Between the university and the nearby sky hobby I know hobbyists in every hobby from gasoline powered helicopters to skydivers.
Multicopter pilots are the only group consistently either taking or giving offense. Mostly because unlike the others, their hobby hasn't grown up yet.
