I've never noticed one out hovering around. I'm looking forward to watching some of those videos (later...gotta go).
However the stupid things are interfering with the efforts to fight fires out here. Plus I've heard they're being spotted near arriving/departing airplanes (at airports) etc. Fuck that. I already have a fear of a goose flying in to the engine or something; I don't want to have to worry about an idiot operating a drone. I think they need to be regulated.

Five such "unmanned aircraft systems" prevented California firefighters from dispatching helicopters with water buckets for up to 20 minutes over a wildfire that roared Friday onto a Los Angeles area freeway that leads to Las Vegas.
