Well, I don't see too much difference here between having to maintain your drivers license, Hunting License, fishing license, NRA membership etc. It seems like our R/C hobby has been the exception to this up to this point. The root of the issue is a lack of education as it is with most things of this nature. If we educate people then it will lessen the offences. How else would you suggest we educate people who would otherwise buy a drone and unknowingly fly it into controlled airspace?
