This was a good video, and while the guns versus RC aircraft comparison was shocking, it was also comparing apples with oranges.This right here sums it up nicely
These kinds of analogies aren't good for persuasion; they play well for a favorable audience.
Now the ultralight versus RC aircraft comparison is apples to apples, as far as an allergies go. Had the video above gone into that analogy after the gun analogy, it would be a much more persuasive piece.
As for me, I know whose fault this all is... quadcopters...not hobbyists or racers, but local neighborhood quadcopter yokels.
And they're going to keep doing it regardless of remote ID, as the video above mentioned...just like criminals keep using guns to murder, in cities where they have the most restrictive gun laws.
Of political philosophical note, RID is an unethical law.
Most of the people affected by RID are actually flying in unrestricted airspace already below 400 ft, not interfering with anyone.
RID isn't a set of regulations meant to help us live together better as a community, like traffic regulations, for instance.
RID is a set of regulations that in effect puts us in a position to all become felonious lawbreakers, and places the government, who is metaphorically supposed to be "US" in the position of monitoring our behavior for correctness.
Which turns us into "subjects" of a tyrant and a citizens of a police state.
Back on topic, there is an RID board by DroneBeacon that will let you turn off the settings that let Karen see your RID data, while still broadcasting RID to the FAA, if the YT vid is to be believed.
I don't think most of us have a problem with reporting our planes position to the FAA, but it's the lack of privacy, that ADB doesn't suffer from (due to lots of AGL from Karen), that most people take issue with.
Sorry for the huge reply...just venting.
