How about this question... can the government prove why I need to be tracked?
Privacy is not hard or time consuming. My car has no internet, cameras use certain frequencies to do facial recognition which is easy to confuse, cell phone has location off and the tracking apps removed (phone was rooted), and cookies/history deleted, VPN disguises my online ID... There is something called the 4th amendment, you are allowed privacy from the government. Not paranoid, just not interested in the government knowing my every move. I can not stop my private info from getting out but I can slow and confuse it.
Just like gun registries have not stopped crime or led to any arrests, so do drone IDs.
Now what would be good is automatic drone IDs that only turn on when in restricted space (near airport, over a military base...).
Why should I be tracked if I am recreational flying a drone in my back yard?
