Yes they can. Would they... maybe, but likely only if you were doing something dangerous... here’s a link to the FAA authority given to local LEOs to do so:Was just a thought, I have my drone license but was wondering if flying in the United States can a police officer ask to see your drone license ?

They sure do in our fair city. When a neighbor complained about a several minute flight over our neighborhood a year or so back, claimed I was peeping into his windows, the policeman who showed up after I landed asked to see my registration certificate and number on the drone. He asked if I had video from the flight, or logs, I showed him all of that. He told me several sites that are often deserted, said they get lots of complaints for drones flown legally. Then he went and told my neighbor he could be cited for calling in a false report.
I've also been asked for my certificate by park managers, been glad to show it, have been offered a job when I get my 107 cert and hope it's still there when I do.
Some responses here are derisive of police and officials and my experience has been good. Shortly after Virginia legislature adopted the FAA rules, I believe they did a good job of educating our law enforcement officers and public officials about drone law and rights...

If you tell the LEO you are flying an exempt 249g Mavic Mini as a hobbyist, there is no requirement for you to have one, and the conversation should end there. Doesn't mean it will.Was just a thought, I have my drone license but was wondering if flying in the United States can a police officer ask to see your drone license ?
