I didn’t need to be broadcasting RID when the guy from the farm next door came around and told me in no uncertain terms not to fly over his farmyard or he’d shoot my drone out of the sky! So don’t tell me these things don’t happen.
Did your neighbor use RID to locate you? Can you point to instances where someone has used RID to do anything negative to a drone or a drone operator?
It certain could happen but there just don't seem to be very many cases of it actually happening.
