A lot of people, myself included, find quadrotor drones in peaceful natural settings to be incredibly annoying. If anyone who isn't aware of the rules sees you breaking them, they will assume that they can do it too and will gleefully bring their loudest, most annoying quadrotor everywhere they can because "they saw someone else do it once." It also opens the floodgates to all kinds of permitting and other process questions for different kinds of activities and they have to justify why they let you do it but not someone else.

Yup, I get it. This aircraft is disruptive at anything under 100feet above ground level.

I thought there would have at least been an avenue to progress through as a federally licensed remote pilot, with an LLC and liability insurance.

I think if you could find a way to do it in a uniform or with a volunteer lanyard you'd probably be golden.
