Technology will always move faster than legislation

Having a code of practice is a useless idea if when a code is broken there is no punishment

Selfishness is a stronger impulse than duty of care

All is fare in love war and droning until someone loses an eye

And dies

Eh? Are you referring to this particular practice or is this yet another dark and deep yarn?

I have and I know the person who takes them. He has sat tests and is certified to operate and will not break the law. He has actually pulled others up on incorrect practices and will advise them accordingly. Maybe you want to read up and a few laws?

Point 1

As described

There is no law - that is the point

Only a code

A code has no powers in law

Point 2

Clearly objects, whether you pass your so called exams or not, objects that have a history of falling to earth, are passing at great height, over humans , be it at 5 in the morning or not, so will at some point injure/kill a human

Oops wasn't intending to start a row. In my it ignorance, and niavety I just thought how good they looked, so posted. Seems there is a debate to be had, so I will ponder on it & watch this thread with Interest!

Pictures look great so don't understand what the problem is either.

Only problem I can see is why is there a picture of Cartmel racecourse amongst the Stafford pictures?

Unfortunately he is not operating within the codes, having been tested and certified does not permit usage outside the codes unless an awful lot of permissions and paperwork filling have been carried out.

The CAA states that drones should not be flown within "50 metres of a person, vessel, vehicle or structure not under the control of the pilot", amongst other stipulations. In light of that ask how the images could be achieved without breaching that. Unfortunately breaches of the code are what attracts media attention and potentially impacts those who do work within the code. The code in the UK is quite relaxed and sensible, I will not argue that the images are not technically good or that they are not interesting but such use and publication can cause problems.

There are laws and codes and that's why he knows what he can and can't do.

Andy Y

He does operate within the codes. No argument really.

My point

Is still the same

Not breaking a law is not the same as safe

Codes are pointless if they are not enforceable

You can't hear yourself think?


It happens


I do apologise

From the heart of my bottom

It was the evil drink

It took a hold of me

And thrashed me

Til i surrended meekly

I shall leave a half shandy bass behind the bar of your choice as means of compensation

Peace Out Dudes
