Ken discovers that your drone may be RID non-compliant and you don't even know it! MAJOR changes coming to FAA drone laws and the tallest building in Memphis is completely abandoned.

UPDATE: The Phantom 4 pro V.2.0 will transmit RID, but it requires a GPS lock and latest firmware installed. Thanks for the heads-up on this guys!
