    For starters you cannot fly a drone over a person except the operator (yourself).

    Is that because most drones are passively recording a videosteeam for it’s operator to navigate it? Would it affect cameraless drones?

      Ita because they could fall on people and cause harm.

      You can in theory fly a drone over people if it meets a few criteria such as enclosed blades, under 250 grams, purely for recreation (no helping people or taking photos of your roofs gutters, purely recreation), displaying your registered FAA number on the drone chassis, etc etc.

      Basically no drone you can buy is actually rated to fly over people, and that’s before passing the test and registering your drone with the FAA.
