I'm condoning nothing mate, lighten up
Had my drone up this afternoon trying to ascertain if the little sods nesting in my roof were bees or wasps.
They're wasps, so Wasp Man can come round and do his worst ASAP as far as I'm concerned.
No offence taken , as I said you had likely posted in jest.
I've already had a police visit a few years back down to an interfering sh#t stirrer who thought she knew it all .
This not only wasted my time but also the officer who visited.
It was probably most embarrassing to the officer having to deal with the report as I was perfectly within my rights , However it means I now have to cover myself legally as theres always going to be someone like that around.
The fact that your pic already got a like proves there still is
I‘D quite like him to give me my money back before he starts talking about resuming flights!
I agree , I noticed @Carole had liked that post after I made my statement already.
Like @proactive , it was liked in jest.
I wasnt referring to @Carole though , I was referring to the first person to like it. All likes are time stamped to avoid any confusion
Not seeing much love for drones on here I think the rules for drones should be designated areas you can use them rather than areas you can't. I'm not sure I would want a to own a drone because even if it was only used for corporate gigs like weddings etc there seems largely to be a stigma attached to owning a camera drone as most people see it as a possible unwanted invasion of privacy and as such may deem an owner using it near houses, when there is plenty of open country side and scenes of natural beauty, an unjust unnecessary invasion of privacy no matter what any rules may say. Just a thought
The beauty with those people having the drones is 100% visibility on what they do with the captured footage and let's be honest they all have good reason for filming residential areas. My view is that I like drone footage I loved Tony Robinsons program but they were places of interest. I'm confused as to what a sole person who owns a drone would find a residential area a 'place of interest'?
Interesting you should ask. Prior to lockdown I worked from home fairly regularly. Odd days and the odd week being on the bench (bench is the time between contracts) those times at home were fine but my preference was always to be in an office.
The main theme on this thread was about people flying drones near other people's property and it being an invasion of privacy. For me I wouldn't fly a drone anywhere near someone's residential property without their express permission so if someone wanted to fly a drone near houses then surely the respectful thing would be to go and knock on the doors of those house concerned and ask their permission. We all live in very understanding neighborhoods right? All a drone operator would need to do is explain the time and date of when they wished to fly to any houses that may end up on the film and give a reasonable explanation as to why they felt the need to film those houses simple right?
