&gt;&gt; This is the RC world&#x27;s &quot;Eternal September&quot;<p>I would liken it to the Wild West, where anybody with money can buy a fairly large quadcopter and go fly it without many consequences. I&#x27;m glad there is a push to get these registered.<p>I think one of the reasons there isn&#x27;t a greater push for safety (licensing and insurance) is you&#x27;re not seeing the stories that would compel the general public to react and have a large outcry over drones yet. Yes, you&#x27;ve seen some privacy issues surrounding them, but stuff like kids getting severely injured or this causing a ten car pile up on the highway hasn&#x27;t happened yet - or at least not that I&#x27;m aware of.<p>Thus, with no major public outcry, the politicians have no desire to push for laws that regulate the industry and the people using them. I&#x27;m sure in time, we&#x27;ll start see more stringent regulation of drones, but for now, there is little if any.<p>full disclosure: I own several drones and do aerial videography as part of my job.
