Um, , , ok, you first.....

The wrong way to fight any issue with the law is to end up on the loud end of the law's guns (both figuratively and literally, of course figuratively in this case)

The better way is to get enough people together who all believe as you do and work for the change you desire. I know it sounds corny, like an impossible mission, but hey, stranger things have happened, look at what happened with Pot (Weed, Reefer, or whatever else one may call Marijuana) in many States here in the USA. A bunch of years ago when I visited Amsterdam I remember thinking "There is no way in Hell Pot is ever gonna be legal like it is here, back in lovely Taxachusetts USA" , , , it'll NEVER happen. And yet here we are, a bunch of years later with recreational Pot being just as legal as booze for anyone over 21, and state sanctioned Pot shops are popping up like weeds all over the place .

Lastly, I absolutely agree with you that there won't be an "FAA RC cop" hiding behind every tree, just waiting to pounce because I know that's simply not how the FAA operates. What they've done is established that in order to fly RC legally, you've gotta do the registration/ TRUST thing, which is basically them having you agree in writing to their rules in a form that can be used if needed to prove you knowingly broke one rule or other resulting in them being forced to take action against you. Naturally there will be no action unless someone or someones gets badly injured or killed, or unless someone makes that much of a nuisance of themselves to force the FAA's hand.
