The Federal Aviation Administration announced today that drone hobbyists across the country will need to register their unmanned aircrafts if they weigh over 9 ounces.
Owner of an unmanned drone would need to provide a name, a physical address, and an email address with the FAA.
Those who fail to join the registry could be fined.
Is a national drone registry the best way to ensure everyone’s safety and privacy?
