Iam living in the Netherlands, a country sometimes known as Paradise.....

But now some things could be changing concerning Drone's.....
The government whants to have control over your Drone at all times.
So in case of a violation or danger to the public or what kind of excuse... they will take over the control
of your Drone and even want to locate the pilot so you will get either a ticket or maybe arrested...

Dutch newspaper article : http://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2014/07/07/politie-wil-drones-uit-de-lucht-kunnen-halen/

Ofcourse we already have rules for flying Drones but this one will get some extra attention I think.

And yes! I agree safety first, so even when you are not violating rules always fly save and think about the damage your drone could cause when falling out of the sky
But sometimes it looks like Safety = FUN / 3
 
A shame, but hardly surprising if you look at all the 'range test' drone videos on Youtube. If we could spread the message about safe VLOS/ sub 400' flying, there may be a future for recreational drone flying!
