So the UK government pigs want us to "register" our drones. Is it to make people safer from our hobby? Nope.... Its because its an idea to get money. They get money from cars, bikes, planes, etc... With drones there are no profits to be made. Sure... They get a cut on the purchase of a drone from the shops. But....
If you buy it as an import with free shipping... The government gets nothing. And lets look at another section on this "register" they want us to do.
Let's say it gets the go ahead. We all register, we all fly within the code. Does that make it any safer? Well.... No actually. How many drones have malfunctioned and fell out of the sky due to hardware failure? Quite a lot. So the register makes no difference at all... Oh.. Apart from the government. And you know whats coming next don't you if this gets the go ahead?
Adverts... Lots and lots of "have you had a drone fall on you, been hurt by a drone, want to sue the crap out of the drone owner" law adverts on our TV. All this will be possible now. And guess what.. That means more money for the government. Your thoughts on this guys?
