You and your moving jpgs, you must have a whole hard drive of these for all sorts of occasions, huh?

Tell me something:
Do you call 911 when you see;
a speeding car
A driver texting and driving
Lady putting on make up using that make up device on the wind shield while driving
Guy eating his fast-food with one hand, drink in the other, driving using his knees
Etc etc etc, any of which would be a lot more dangerous than a capable person flying a small drone, just because it it's up there doesn't mean it's going to fall, or you just don't trust the technology?
And please don't point out all the crashes, as that number is negligible vs the number of drones flying at any one time.
Why is it when it comes to quads, you guys come out of the shadows and start being the self appointed "drone police".
Listen, drones are here to stay, so don't worry about our little toys or tools for the pros who want to make money. It will be a much more restricted hobby for sure, but not because of people that you think are irresponsible but because of the sheer number of drones milling about up there!!!
And do remember not everybody lives in middle of nowhere or interested in filming trees, sky, water falls, sunsets etc!
So the answer to your question is: do as you do with everything else in your day to day observations of irresponsible acts: NOTHING
We're losing ground every day. Open google news and type in drones. Do this at least once a week. Scroll down. Go to the second page. It's happening. A lot of it's paranoia from an uninformed public, but sadly, a lot of it's because of ignorant people that feel that since they paid for it, they have the right to fly it however the see fit.
And then there's the fact that when you google phantom drones, this forum is right at the top of the results. So now we have curious public showing up, and seeing people like you saying that they're gonna do whatever the heck they want because they can and it doesn't matter.
That's awesome. You're a real asset.
This video was fairly well crafted. Not sure about flight permissions, especially the bridge shots, but the remaining sequences were well captured and some nice imagery comes out. The flight amongst the seagulls should not offend anyone as the risks of human injury are virtually 0 and the worst potential outcome is a crashed drone and a scared bird. Other than that, nice video.What should we do?
Specifically 1:44, 1:58 and 2:02.
I don't think that's good advice.So the answer to your question is: do as you do with everything else in your day to day observations of irresponsible acts: NOTHING

Most states won't do anything with it because if the cop doesn't witness it it's not probable cause. I have front and back cameras also, simply because I drive one of those kinds of cars that no one seems to see and I want it as a visual record for the time Bubba in his SuperDuty runs over my hood.I have a front and rear-mounted car DVRs. I always forward clips to the police of people doing stupid stuff.
I did. Being that close to people is not a good idea. What is so interesting about young boys that the pilot needed to stalk them? Hit one and be ready for trouble. Oh, but the kids wanted to be in the video. So a bunch of 12 year olds have the influence for the pilot to break a few laws. The video was stupid and risky.
I get emails from youtube and the one I got this morning had this clip in it,now this guy looked much worse then the OP's video.I didnt watch it all,just seen him get close to a couple kids and almost hit them and then say it would have been funny if he hit them.edit: I see now he says kids wanted to be in video,guess he wouldnt have posted it if he would have actually nailed one of them
