I frequently see articles in the news about angry people over reacting about a drone flying "near" them. Sometimes they get nervous about the actual unit flying in their proximity but most of the time they hate the idea that they are being filmed.

Its a guy with an Inspire flying "around" a pier. Ive done this tons of times & a fisherman tries to take the down the drone. Has anyone had any experience with pissed off people who verbally attack you or worse, who take it upon themselves to attack your quadcopter? Whats a good way to diffuse the situation? "Im just flying around for fun, not recording anything."
Any thoughts? I live in South Fl & I've only had 2 semi-serious run-ins, nothing that got out of hand though. A buddy of mine had 9 cop cars drive up onto the beach because a condo owner nearby called it in saying that "someone is flying a drone near my building & i think theres a bomb on it."
