Jumping on this... NFZ seems to be wacked out recently, I've bene able to fly over a stadium during a huge soccer match.. granted its in a authorized zone when in the past you weren't able to fly there.. what has happened?
Flying in the "Red" zone...

*shrug* I don’t know, but I flew near a monument today, and I was constantly warned the maximum altitude was 60 meters. I didn’t try to exceed that, so I guess that part is untested, but the warning was working.

my guy/girl I read and read. I know what a no fly zone is. Not to be rude to anyone on this forum. [Slang removed by Admin] if the president is in town. I wasn't referring to that. I was referring to lets say a dolphins game or marlins game is playing. its a red zone still lets you fly. If its a no fly zone. make it prohibited don't make it a no fly zone and still let people fly. Just like people in new York. Oh its illegal to fly there.. than make it a no fly zone. simple as that. I can do as much reading as I want but if I can take off and fly in busy downtown than I will

Yep it will suck when you have a fly away and crash into a plane and kill some one
oh and if it happens in a No Fly Zone, enjoy flying in a 10 by 10 cell for 15 years.
I am a flight instructor at two public and one private universities. This year I graduated 300 students with a 99.9% 107 Pass rate. In addition to about 40 hours of flight time per student with '0' crashes. I work closely with the local FAA and I am looking forward to the time when you will have to get a license before you buy a drone at Amazon, or Best Buy or Target, that law is coming... Just like you have to have a drivers license to buy a car.

I do not live close to a air port and I Thank most people that spend a lot of time and money on there hobby will do the right thing with out some big company telling them when you can and can’t fly.There are apps for that kind of stuff.....Im talking about hobby flyers not the 107 guys.....

I can do 15 standing on my head......lol
They also have psychological countermeasures too, well not really them but the "God system".

I thank there are a lot of guys that put way to much in to flying a small drone everyone should read this......Study Finds It’s Actually Very Difficult to Seriously Hurt Someone With a Small Drone
Posted By: Miriam McNabbon: August 23, 2019
We acknowledge that Popular Mechanics had a better title when they published What Happens When a Drone Crashes into Your Face? on this same study. But since our audience is commercial drone stakeholders, we wanted to get right to the significant issue: the study finds that it would actually be extremely difficult to hurt someone seriously through an accidental crash with a small quadcopter.
The study in question was published by the Alliance for System Safety of UAS through Research Excellence (ASSURE). The ASSURE research team “has developed a standard methodology by which potential injury may be evaluated.”
From an ASSURE press release:
Over 512 impact tests and simulations were conducted using 16 different multi-rotor and fixed-wing sUAS, as well as various objects and payloads (batteries, wood blocks, etc.) with weights ranging from 0.71 to 13.2 lbs. Testing also included evaluation of heavier sUAS using mitigations to reduce potential for injury, such as sUAS under parachutes.
“The injury impacts conducted in the study were controlled impact tests of the worst case, using those variables capable of transferring the most energy to a human,” said Arterburn. [David Arterburn, Director, Rotorcraft Systems Engineering and Simulation Center at The University of Alabama in Huntsville and principal investigator for the study.] “Even in these controlled studies, slight variations of the vehicle orientation or location of impact with the human, just prior to impact, reduced the injury potential. These results showed that these worst-case impacts are very difficult to achieve, even under controlled impact test conditions.” [Emphasis DRONELIFE.]
“The research results give the FAA a better picture of potential injuries and their severity, based on established science,” said Stephen P. Luxion, Col (Ret.), Executive Director, ASSURE. “Earlier testing of injury data strongly supported our assessment that long-standing fatality data was overly conservative and largely not applicable to injuries resulting from impacts by more elastic sUAS. [Emphasis DRONELIFE.] Additional testing was needed to develop a more accurate, science-based test methodology that may be used by the FAA, sUAS manufacturers, and operators of sUAS to evaluate the injury risk potential.”
“This data and the continued work that the ASSURE program is conducting may help inform future safety decisions for UAS integration in our National Airspace System,” continued Luxion.
Any pilot who has had to do a hand-catch without a glove, or who has accidentally gotten beneath his drone when landing ungracefully, understands that some pretty nasty cuts can result. But pretty nasty cuts are not the same thing as fatalities – and it’s a very significant difference when establishing regulations for flight over people. The ASSURE study provides some respected science to back industry claims that small quadcopters don’t pose extreme risk to people below.
ASSURE’s UAS focus is on research, education, and training critical to safe, efficient, and successful integration of UAS into the nation’s airspace. ASSURE has conducted initial research in: detect and avoid technology; low-altitude operations safety; control and communications; spectrum management; human factors; maintenance standards and requirements; compatibility with air traffic control. ASSURE membership is made up of 15 core universities, 8 affiliate universities, and over 110 industry partners. ASSURE membership includes representation in 13 states, 9 countries, and over 200 locations, and is core to 3 UAS Test Sites. Learn more at ASSUREuas.org.

Sigh.. never did I say I was not certified. But I won't get into that debate. I completely agree about getting a license to buy a drone. But like everything black market exist and people will ALWAYS find a way around certain things. What I am saying is why make it "illegal to fly" but still allow members of the community to fly?
You don't have to have a drivers license to buy a car. It's just legally required before you can operate a car on public roads.
You can also buy a full sized aircraft without any license. I knew a guy who bought a Cessna before he even started flight training.
