Posted by lee-d on November 29, 2018 at 4:54 pmWould be interesting to know if the FAA is actually cracking down on this.

I certainly hope so. Drones are deceptively simple to use. The consequences of a mistake can be grossly out of scale compared to the device itself.
I expect that “enforcement” would be in the form of insurance companies refusing to cover damages.
Maybe they will look into local newspapers and TV stations as well – probably more guilty of more dangerous operations.
Beware of Amazon: using their permissions for BVLOS the whole of a new rail route (150 miles) has been flown using drones:

Quite why it wasn’t done by a manned aircraft I don’t know, but the firm doing the flying appear to have multi-million euro backing. You don’t need a surveyor if you have sufficient cash.
They made a Digital Train Model?
Deputy spelling police here. But, well, it is for a railroad, so I can see why the reporter was confused.
.I believe drones will only get smaller for mapping purposes. Smaller means less dangerous, less visible, but the whole privacy thing will likely play a role.

What privacy thing? (By the way, your fly is unzipped.)
I suspect that a Real Estate Agent hired someone to fly a listing because I found the remains of a DJ Phantom in the back yard yesterday. They may have gotten cute and tried to buzz the dog because he was playing catch with the camera when I spotted it. i hope they were charging enough to cover the loss of their drone because Duke ate it.
