I hate to side with the FAA on something but this is BS. Some of these drones are getting huge, and they are being flown by reckless imbeciles.

When one of these things causes an injury or death, the same people writing articles like this will then do a 180 and want to know, “why wasn't the FAA doing something about this?”

If you are going to get the blame one way or the other, might was well get out the hammer. Better to be hung for a wolf than for a sheep.

If someone is negligent and harms someone, they will either be prosecuted or sued into oblivion under existing laws. Just because a drone is involved shouldn’t change anything, and it’s no reason to regulate and stifle the growth of a new technology. I can indeed see a market for drone insurance(similar to liability auto insurance) if people are using them often or for commercial purposes.

The FAA should play a very minimal role in this, outside of safety concerns.
