No. FAA is not a police force and doesn't have the personnel. Where did you find the $27,500 number?

Local law enforsement have authority to check and then report to the FAA for consideration.

The amount comes from the failure to register the drone. If you don't abide by the rule as a whole, the drone is not registered. That is not saying that a person _will_ be fined that amount. It is just the highest amount of the fine.

Mine is in the battery compartment and underside, between the sensors.
On my P3, I have it on the back near the battery compartment, and on the bottom near the ultrasonic sensors.
