[QUOTE="RotorWash, post: 119241, member: 18210"] If flying vlos in a rural area it's usually not that hard to find the pilot anyway but in an urban area one could become an easier target for criminals looking to steal your kit or for run-of-the-mill drone haters looking to harass you about where you can fly. It would have been preferable for pilot location to be available for law enforcement only. Here's a snippet from the DSPA article "[URL='https://dspalliance.org/remote-identification-a-good-start/']Remote Identification. A good start.[/URL]" [I]"Public availability of PIC location is a huge issue. We’ve all heard multiple stories of first hand accounts of people being threatened, physically attacked, and even shot down by people who were not happy with us flying our drones near them. And that was only if they could find us. Now imagine if you will (in our best Rod Serling accent) what can happen if someone can simply pull out their phone when they see a drone and know exactly where we are. It could become a true Twilight Zone situation indeed. Public knowledge of our location was the number one concern of every drone operator and pilot we talked to. And many of them decided that they would take preemptive measures in order to protect themselves. And that would likely not end well for anyone."[/I] [/QUOTE]
