If any law enforcement person sees an R/C aircraft in use and asks for a license one should be produced, if not a citation gets written.
How can you force people who buy a legal product, to join a private organization take tests and pay dues to said organization? Kind of the inverse of forcing people to buy health insurance from a private organization and fining them if they don't.
