Yes, civilians and corporations may own/fly drones just by following some common sense FAA guidelines/rules.

We usually don’t get too close unless it’s unavoidable, for safety, a search and rescue mission, or another type of emergency.

You’re likely to be immediately arrested. Even joking about it is a felony. If found guilty of either, you could receive a multiple-decade prison sentence and permanent loss of your right to possess guns. You could also be liable for injuries or damages.

Sorry, no. Our insurance doesn’t allow anyone but our experienced pilots to operate our drones.
