[QUOTE="RotorWash, post: 99527, member: 18210"] I agree Hotwire. When I first got started with drones I was quite surprised to learn of the negativity towards them. Privacy and safety are the two main reasons often cited but like you said, statistically that doesn't justify the anger/fear out there. I think part of what is going on is related to social media video as it takes only a very few doing something stupid and sharing it online to make it look like all hell is breaking loose to the general public who are pretty ignorant about drones to start with. From there the main stream media jumps in to stoke the coals of fear every chance it gets as they know that fear always sells. That said, I’ve read a number of rescue stories over the past year, maybe the tide is turning a little and with all the new regulations and some talk of it in the news maybe the MSM will pick on something else for awhile.
