Oh yeah flinging cones at drones is illegal I think
Pretty funny how you, on one hand, bash the guy for violating FAA rules and on the other hand threaten to violate them yourself...only difference? His mistakes were not "legal" ones that would get him arrested only fined...maybe. Then you threaten take down his drone which would get you arrested for interfering with an aircraft...felony arrest. LOL.
Please stop being the grumpy old man. You are giving so many false claims. First, stop using the word "illegal". Nothing here is a violation of law, only FAA regulations. Illegal would mean he could get arrested. No....he could get fined by the FAA at worst, but most likely just a discussion on the regulations.It seems that I am being made out to be an ogre for taking exception to this young person flying their drone up and down a street in their hometown. The drone is flown low and slow over people and vehicles and it hovered near a traffic control person, just trying to do their job.
This is illegal and downright dangerous. It does not matter if it is done innocently or not, the drone can cause serious injury or worse.
If I was out in the street trying to control traffic to ensure the vehicles and pedestrian were safe, I would be both distracted and creeped out by a drone hovering over me. I would consider this harassment and I would probably have tested his skill at advoiding a "flying" traffic cone…
The OP wrote that the construction people were trying to signal him, but even when they flashed the STOP Sign at him, he missed the point.
The OP wrote to me and I am not going to go on defending my position nor am I going to notify the FAA, I'm not a cop, but that does not mean that the construction workers did not tell their supervisors about this and they notify the authorities. It was not like he just visited the area, he hovered, he stayed, and since there is a second video, he probably went back…
Yeah, he (the OP) is just 16-years old, and so were the two kids from my subdivision (I did not know them…) who skipped out of school last Friday, took the family SUV for a joy ride and crashed at high speed, head-on into a tractor trailer, killing them both. The whole county seems to be mourning their loss. I'm just thankful they hit a tractor trailer and not a school bus full of children. And no one is saying anything about the driver of the tractor trailer who hit those kids, killing them, and having to live with that knowledge for the rest of his life…

Having to say you are sorry for doing something you know is wrong never hacks it….
Loud Thunder you are not at all an ogre! You are one the few brave people willing to call out behavior like this. The OP used to have a different screen name that was DOC something. He is always looking for attention. If we were in a small in person setting we could assist. He has escalated over time and this is a poor example of being a responsible drone pilot. People have fallen for this for a year or more. I have sincere hope that the OP seeks counsel to assist him to a good path in life. I do no think he is being malicious (although illegal often) but is desperate for attention. Pretty sure I will save time and block the OP and live life without these particular posts. Maybe if we called out bad behavior and offered genuine help society would be better off. Kids do need guidance but you can't turn the other way and say that wrong is right! Good luck and I wish the OP sincere best wishes.It seems that I am being made out to be an ogre for taking exception to this young person flying their drone up and down a street in their hometown.

So wait, this kid is DOC? Ok, see why some people are upset, but still does not change my view on LT's tone and inflammatory incorrect comments.
Well said, in an educational tone vs the brash, bully approach. Quite a nice contrast. Your style is much more productive.
Not just disregarding FAA regulations, but I believe you were very annoying to these guys.
You've changed your name since last year. The giveaway Is the mugshot included in your video. I could not forget that face.
I know I change my name it was once doc ASMR
