To tell me how cool my Mavic was!! I almost **** myself initially. I'm flying from the roof of my apartment's parking garage carefully piloting my mavic above some powerlines trying to capture the sunset when I hear a voice to my left, "So how far can you fly that thing?". I look over and see two cops looking at me. Every cop horror story with drones immediately rushed to me. My immediate response was "I've never actually tested it" (lying). They weren't about to catch me slipping lol. They asked me how high it was currently and looking down at my controller I tell them 176 feet from where we're standing. They both immediately respond with "Whoaaaa! Nice!". It was at this point that I realize that they weren't there for me. So I told em that the theoretical distance is over 4 miles. They almost **** a brick upon hearing that. They then went on to tell me they were there because of a report of some kids partying on the garage. Funny enough, I saw those kids leaving when I got up there. This just goes to show you that not all cops have a problem with people flying their drones. And they clearly aren't being forced into drone law training classes.
Once they left, I proceeded to continue on with what I was doing and took this great bit of video. Enjoy!
