DJI proposing "electronic license plates" for drones

Which usually isn’t illegal, I’ll point out. You realize that you don’t own the air over your house or property (which has also been settled in court) beyond a very limited limit? You might get someone on a peeping tom charge but then again, you might not.

You keep talking sweet like that and I’ll expect a date.

What social norms? There are no social norms around drones, hence all of the confusion. Just because you’ve found “historic peace” there doesn’t mean your use is the only or dominant use. Do you get mad when people play with their barking dogs as well because they’re disturbing your historic peace?

As has also pointed out, there aren’t really any laws either. The FAA has no legally recognized (and tested in court) jurisdiction over model aircraft, which non-commercial drones happen to be.

But I don’t need to…

If it isn’t illegal, it is, by definition, legal (at least in the USA).

Also not legally enforceable. There are very specific limits to the rules or laws various muncipalities or private entities can set over airspace use, at least in the USA. It is a Federal matter. Local governments or private owners have zero say. The FAA regulates all air over property.
