You are right, but the bottom line is that if you fly without remote id and get caught, you will be in a world of chaos. That was my point, I remember now, there are no such things as hack, the correct word is modified, thanks for the correction.

I agree and I was referring to drones weighting over 0.55lbs. I forgot that small detail.

I imagine there will be a lot of "civil disobedience" about it, but if you're doing it commercially there's really no excuse.
I am sure it will be a handful that will try to test the system and will get caught! The FAA will make examples of those who try big time. There are always one or two, and it will happen for sure.
Yes - in version v01.00.0900. Those notifications were not present when I was running v01.00.0800 which was the newest update for a Mavic 3 as of when this thread was started.
DJI fired up RID on the Mavic Air 2s platform one version ahead of when they started it for the Mavic 3.

eID/RID is going to be promoted, don't doubt that, as the objective is that everyone acts like a cop.
For example, in Spain there's about 85 patrols with Aeroscope systems (about 5Km range) in all the country. When eID/RID becomes available in Europe, apps like "Drone Scanner" will be promoted on TV, and you'll have 40 million potential Aeroscopes and cop wannabes.
See a drone flying nearby, search on the Drone Scanner app and call the cops, or search the pilot's location and go yourself to harass the pilot because obviously, he is "spying" you from 200m away.
Every seasoned drone pilot has had encounters with Karens/Kens without RID, just by seeing the drone nearby, it's a common thing in the hobby; now you'll just get harassed every single time by idiots from more than 1Km away.
And last but not least, drones are expensive stuff. That 3.000 or 5.000€ Mavic 3 flying in the middle of nowhere screaming all around "come and rob me" is not going to last very long.

According to Mile High Drone Services, here in Colorado, none of those apps are tracking due to protocols. I tried them myself on all my drones and nothing. One thing I can tell you certanly, RID is on and trasmitting on Mavic 3, Air 2s, and Mini 3. Once I get my reciever I will post a video for non-believers.

This video confirms RID active on Mavic 3. They updated the reciever with new features. One of them is the capability to see on google maps the pilot location and drone locationg right on your phone.
