My friend...never underestimate the power of the dork vest. It's quite amazing. Give it a try. You will be amazed!

Good luck!

I pull out my 107 cert, the LAANC notification showing FAA approval to fly certain coordinates at a certain time, and my liability insurance policy. They see that I'm a responsible flyer and they leave. And sometimes they even go back to the crackpot who called them and will "educate" them.

What's the best source for a Dork Vest? People have posted links to Amazon sold vests before, but these seem more official.

Thanks, Chris

You are correct. The charger is on a table behind the cops. And it works great!

Os that charger plugging into the car? You need to keep engine running while charging?

That’s an example of a cheap safety vest. Doesn’t say anything but you can add lettering at any shirt place.

Most public safety places order from Galls...

No i don’t work for Galls, just have been ordering stuff for the past 29 years

Kudos to you that you can do all that while flying...<;^)

Amazon. eBay. I used to have a cheap-a** dork vest I think I paid 5 bux for. My business partner gifted me a nice one from "Radians" that I'm sure he paid way more than 5 bux for.

As a pro photographer I adopted the use of a tool belt to carry all my extras such as speed lights, remotes, tablet, batteries, etc. Now I use it to fly, paired with my vest I look the part. Don’t like being bothered while flying.

Stay calm, be honest, be polite, follow instructions, don’t be passive.

Don’t know what you mean by passive, but I agree with everything else you said and I am a cop.

Basically, as long as you’re following the law, and don’t act like an obnoxious person who just comes off wanting to resist authority (recalcitrant), you’ll have no issues. Police have to investigate all calls for service. Doesn’t mean they will, or even want to, shut you down, they just want to make sure you are on the up and up.

I just waive as the police roll up, they usually just keep driving slowly by...
