Sometimes when flying my drone I feel like I'm nude, smoking a cigarette and playing catch by throwing a baby in the air.
Today I'm out in the perfect weather getting some photos of a new LDS Temple. I'm on a pubic sidewalk on a side road. Several vehicles slow down and almost stop next to me. A few pull into the parking lot I'm next to and just stop next to me. I get down to my last battery and walk over to the side of the building to get a different angle. I'm standing on the public sidewalk next to a round about that is on a dead end. Drone on the sidewalk and I'm getting ready to launch. Car drives by and stops 5' from the drone. Blocking another car behind them. Stays there for about 30 seconds and then drives off. Security guard for the building next door (Nu Skin) comes up and is _SUPER_ nice. He says he understands I'm getting photos of the new temple but tells me that work from his office is that people can't take photos of the Nu-Skin building and if someone fly's over he's supposed to call law enforcement. Again, he's a really nice guy just doing his job.
I just feel that its getting to the point where flying around anyone is almost not worth the hassle. I hate to offend anyone but truth is, I'm not harming anyone and just enjoying getting cool video and photos.
