While flying my drone, I've had people come up to me - more out of curiosity than anything else - and ask what I was doing. Without saying a word, I look down at my controller, up at my drone (if I can see it), back at my controller, then back at them and smile. It's as if they're sometimes looking for you to respond in a manner that warrants an attack. It's as if they're begging for a reason to whip out their cell phone, take your picture, and call Channel 5. "Look at me, I found a guy using his drone to take pictures of school children - from 300 feet up." In America, your business is no longer, well, yours. You are no longer allowed to have an expectation of privacy. People want to know what's going on, who you're spying on, who your hurting, what you're planning, if you're smoking pot while doing it, and if you're wearing your special I heart Hillary socks. If not, you obviously have criminal intentions and they're calling CNN.
I love showing people how much fun it is to fly drones and take pictures. I'll show them how to control it, how the camera works, landing, sport mode, whatever. Try this sometime: with them standing there, take your drone out to where it's barely visible, turn off the controller, set it down, and start talking with them about something totally different "How 'bout those Cubs?" The looks on their faces is often priceless.
Treat people the way they deserve to be treated and don't cater to anyone out for their 15 minutes of fame.
