The (cockpit) lawyer in me would said this is so messed up. The FAA does not license pilots, FEs, instructors, etc., they certify them. These would be "certificated remote operators." And the remote operator card card doesn't look anything like all the part 61, 63 or 65 cards.

The cops have hassled lots of legitimate news personnel because they aren't up to speed with both the laws regarding drones nor the fact that news companies actually have licensed press drone operators, hence the vest. Look at any sporting event and you will see a gaggle of pro photogs and many events make them wear a vest like this in addition to credentials. Now, place these guys at a crime scene or protest and yes, I'd prefer to wear something that distances me from the huddled masses so I don't get baton'd or hit.
