More and more regulations are not going to keep those who don’t give a damn from doing stupid things. There are already laws and regulations that exist concerning UAS flight.
Indeed the biggest problem is when the plebes get to do things normally reserved with good reason to those who know about flying, airspaces and why aviation isn’t forgiving to any degree of human error.
There will never ever be flying cars for the masses, only for the few qualified to be pilots, and there should never ever be widespread of dangerous drones that can and will be misused even if 99% of users are responsible.
99% good doesn’t cut it in Aviation at large… maybe 99.99999%
PL112-95 Section 336, the special rule for model aircraft, absolutely is at fault – because it prevents the FAA from issuing common sense rules like requiring remote ID for ALL drones above some specified weight. Had FAA been able to require remote ID, air traffic controllers and pilots would have known the drone was there and taken independent action to be safe – rather than rely on some hobbyist who isn’t even required to prove he knows anything about the airspace or rules. It also would have aided law enforcement taking action against the individual.
This is why we end up with government regulations. A few people cannot be counted on to act responsibly, so the government has to require them to.
