I used my friend as an example of how some people ruin a hobby for the vast majority. I don't know why you take offense to the idea that some people use their drone is socially unacceptable ways.
not just improper peeping, but interfering with fire teams, emergency rescues and plane flight. I'm sure it's the vast minority, but it happens on a regular enough basis that people take issue with drones because of it.
that's probably why the new rules have overreacted, too.
I like your car example. did you know there are laws and regulations about how and where you can use your car? it's not the wild west out there on the road. but you also use the camera example, too. No matter if it's a drone or a camera, if you invade a persons privacy it's going to tick them off.

How would you or your friend possibly know they were looking at her breasts? Seems like fear mongering to me. It's ok to want privacy in your backyard but stop the BS about peeping toms and creeps trying to stare at breasts. Drones are the worst spying tool possible. Loud and easily noticeable. Might as well get onto a ladder over the fence with bells attached and make yourself even more visible.
Obviously interfering with fire teams and all that is not fine and shouldn't be allowed. It also doesn't mean they need a blanket rule basically banning drone use in Calgary and surrounding areas.
