From midnight on the 1st of January 2028, all drones in the UK weighing over 249g will have to broadcast their location, the location of the remote pilot, and the unique ID of the drone's owner. This information won't just be available to the police, but to anyone with a mobile phone and a free app. Why is this becoming a requirement? What are the technologies behind this? And what could possibly go wrong?
