As of February 2016 new restrictions on small unmanned aircraft were put into place. This policy has made it essentially impossible to fly a drone legally for any reason in most places. It also declares certain hobbies regarding drones such as POV and urban arial photography illegal.
These regulations have ruined the experience of flying their drones, and the penalties for non compliance are far overreaching. The fines and jail time are nearly triple that of a second drinking and driving offense in my state. Am i to believe the purely harmless hobby of flying a drone is more dangerous and antisocial activity than driving under the influence? These regulations need to be re-evaluated.
