Birdseyejr,
First off, welcome to the forum. Now that being said I didn't say JUST commercial drone pilots would suffer, however they will indeed be the one's that will suffer from even More regulations that they already have to follow. Do you happen to hold a 333 exemption? If you do, I'm pretty sure you'll find some of the regulations preposterous and borderline insulting to most commercial drone pilots. Remember, we that do uphold a 333 exception are on the radar and can possibly have even more restrictions applied to our exemptions because of rogue pilots. The people that choose to break the rules are going to do it anyway regardless of anymore government interaction. There is already some severe fines for these type of people. Do you not think there's too much government involvement already? What I'm saying is there is a fine line of what can be done. Bringing anymore government in will not change anything in my opinion but HURT the commercial industry. This is all politics, that's what politicians get paid for. Do you really think they give a **** about you or me? Don't think so.
The only way I see a couple options at this point in time is:
1} frequency jammers, but then you get in to safety issues, via cell phones for emergency calls, emergency respondent radios {VHF} but then again you can easily make a drone that operates on VHF frequency.
or
2} Just make it Illegal to purchase or posses a drone without a commercial licenses, which brings me to a point that you stated in your earlier post. {Put these very capable machines in the hands of the mass population and now it becomes, not just an issue, but a big issue.} Is this what your proposing? Take away all hobbyist drones simply because of other irresponsible people? Should we do this with guns too? I am a firm believer in the 2nd amendment and I'm probably the last person you wanna hang out with if your against our rights.
There is so much hype about drones it's ridiculous!
Nothing is perfect and it will never be perfect! and also as you have stated as myself...
"EDUCATION!" THIS PROBABLY THE BEST SOLUTION BUT NOT MORE GOVERNMENT!
Happy Flying!
