I'm wondering if there is anything else to be said on this topic. Haven't we beaten it to death already ? ... or better yet, I should unsubscribe

OR just follow the rules.His big mistake was in talking to them, and letting them into his house.
"Come back with a warrant" then get on line and register while they are gone. They never saw the drone flying so can't claim you flew it before it was registered.
but time to look for new neighbors, or buy them out so you don't have them.
The airport does not have "police". The FAA is a regulating agency, not a police agency. The FAA cannot "arrest" anyone. Local law enforcement can arrest for "reckless endangerment", privacy violation or trespassing. Local law enforcement can collect information such as registration and identification and provide it to the Department of Transportation (FAA) for investigation with regard to and limited to fines and/or license suspension.
Regulatory agencies operate under restrictions and at the direction of legislation. That's basic Civics 101, which unfortunately has not been taught in schools for a long time.
Registration applies to all "drones" between .55 and 55 pounds, commercial or hobby. (Where have some of you been for the last few years?) If you think the $5 ("greedy government") registration fee covers the cost of this process you are clearly from another planet.
The story that initiated this thread amounts to propaganda at best. I've seen Swiss cheese with fewer holes than that premise. To what end and purpose I can only guess. I smell troll.
thanks man but shouldn't the govt put that in more plain english all over the website especially on the certificate itself. It list other rules like don't fly above 400ft,never fly next to airports etc BUT NOT ONE WORD ABOUT PUTTING THE **** STICKER ON THE DRONE. NOT A WORD
Unfortunately you are mistaken. YOU must be registered if the aircraft is between 0.55 lbs. (250 grams) and up to 55 lbs, and the number put on the aircraft is YOUR FAA registration number, not the aircraft's.It is my understanding that registration is for commercial flying only. Am I mistaken?

Have to be a secret agent?If you fly for commercial purposes you need the registration of your aircraft plus take a test called part 007.
Shaken, not stirred. Now that's the life.Have to be a secret agent?

I think this whole subject is pure internet BS. There is no aviation police and the only people that can enforce this is the FAA( you might call them the aviation police if you want to but they are not). In an enforcement action, the FAA will send a registered, certified USPS mail informing you of the charges. They do not come from the "airport" and visit you. There are only a few of these offices and most are not on airport property but in federal buildings.
I label this B.S.
If it weighs MORE than .55 lbs and less than 55 lbs it MUST be registered before you fly it.It is my understanding that registration is for commercial flying only. Am I mistaken?

true but I am still working on it and I will get to the bottom of it. i am going to ask my friend for the guys phone numbers and talk to him myself. I am knew to drones and this website and don't want to be labeled as a trollThe biggest problem with the story is that it's 3rd hatynd information with considerable uncertainty added with the telling by the friend and his friend before it was reported here.
What we have here is a long way from the source material or the people involved in the original incident.
That's OK ... I was just trying to cool things down because some were taking everything so seriously when it's obvious that we've only got a slightly unreliable version to work with.true but I am still working on it and I will get to the bottom of it. i am going to ask my friend for the guys phone numbers and talk to him myself.

There's already plenty of half-truths and misinformation on the web.
In the future try to gain more detail and facts before posting so you're not adding to it.
I read somewhere on the internet that just being around a drone causes cancer. Maybe that's how I got my cancer.
