I’m not concerned with drone usage and the lack of regulations, both state wide and nation wide, specifically hobby. I have many friends with drones, and both as a skier and as a previous downhill longboarder, drones have been hugely beneficial for filming each other. I fear that the FAA would overstep the boundaries and put too many restrictions on something that is very rarely used with negative intentions.

Thank you for sharing Lacey! I was unaware of the recent rise in drone sightings around Denver and Colorado in recent months. Regulations are required in all things and drones do have the capability to be dangerous or destructive. Opalka makes a great point about how individual privacy has gone the way of the dodo in recent years, but I don’t know if I agree with her sort of laissez-faire attitude to no longer really having privacy. I think that regulation in the field of drones is inevitable at this point, especially as they so recently came onto the civillian market.
