I wanted to do a Mavic flight in Atlanta (Glenwood area) this week for a realtor. After parking I saw two city cops on the corner near my intended flight path. Since they were sticking around, I walked over and introduced myself, showed them my GA driver's license and FAA certification, and explained what I had planned. I told them I would obey all FAA rules, and showed them the quad.
They had no problem, but asked me to check with some woman approaching on the sidewalk - turns out she was the on-site boss for a movie shoot. She asked a few questions (route, flight time, size of drone). As luck would have it, she also owned a Mavic too and said "No problem."
I walked the flight path to locate power lines and other obstructions and had a successful flight.
