Would 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. ?ÿ
I expect that "enforcement" would be in the form of insurance companies refusing to cover damages.?ÿ
Maybe they will look into local newspapers and TV stations as well - probably more guilty of more dangerous operations.?ÿ
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.?ÿ 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??ÿ (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.?ÿ They may have gotten cute and tried to buzz the dog because he was playing catch with the camera when I spotted it.?ÿ i hope they were charging enough to cover the loss of their drone because Duke ate it.
