Are any news shows using drones these days? I know they used to have the “traffic 'copter/eye in the sky” and would fly that to cover fires or traffic accidents. drones make a lot more sense for them cost and risk wise, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were buzzing fires for their nightly footage.
Also, just a though, but maybe drones could be required to be equipped with a “return home” signal receiver, that when activated alerts the controller it immediately fly the drone back to its base, add a tag for sender, fire/police/military/air traffic control and that would help resolve such situations.
