Late Registration

Recently we posted an article on the outcome of a consultation on the safe use of drones launched by the UK government.  Overwhelming, the headline story was the government’s intention to implement a registration system for drones in the near future.  We responded to the consultation in favour of a long-term plan for a considered registration system.  Whether it comes sooner or later, we cannot stress enough how vital a registration system will be to the future of the UK drone market. As the UK consultation noted, the need for registration is closely tied to a need for accountability.  With drones flying faster, higher and for longer, their conceivable uses, including delivery, agriculture and law enforcement, increase. As Voltaire and/or Spiderman’s Uncle famously stated ‘with great power comes great responsibility’, and alongside their new capabilities, these new, more powerful drones have a higher potential for causing damage.
