Most drone Pilots are professionals and are only using the drone as a tool. A licensed drone Pilot doesn’t want to invade your privacy, spy on you, or harm you or anybody that you know with the drone. Licensed drone Pilots are held to a strict set of guidelines and regulations that are set by the FAA. They have invested thousands, and sometimes tens of thousands, of dollars into their equipment, and spent quite a bit of time getting licensed and training to use a drone properly. They wouldn’t want to lose their license, and their ability to use their investment, by being unsafe, or a threat to the public.
