I fly my Phantom 4 very responsibly, taking off and landing from a disused carpark and flying over a giant solar panel field and agricultural land, the disused carpark has houses on one side and one of the people living in one of these houses has told neighbours that someone is spying on them with a drone. It's my drone they are talking about and didn't really think anymore about it till they took to facebook, to our villages page and posted a rather vindictive post.:
How do people in the village feel about drones being flown over their gardens?
filming,your children, property,vehicles, sheds bike,s Do you mind someone doing this?
It starts out ok I guess with a reasonable question then sows the seed in peoples minds that I am, and all drone owners are in fact, burgling paedophiles. It's nonesense like this that causes untold problems occasionally ending in violence especially when some people decide they're the experts as one person who replied obviously does:
It's an invasion of privacy laws, No It's not
Taking photographs or video in a public place is allowed by law, This was challenged in parliament last year under Freedom of Photography act. . Firstly you can't challenge laws in Parliament, you can only challenge them in court and secondly what is the Freedom of Photography act? I've never heard of it and neither has Google, Did he just make it up?
Photographs of people on private property or photography of their private property is against the law No it's not, you can photograph anything you want from a public place. In law the airspace above your house is a public place.
People at work during the day do not realise their private property is being scrutinised by these drones, Seriously?Who exactly is scrutinising their property?
Anyone seeing them over their property should report it to the police.
I'm sure they'll be straight round
Anyone else had this kind of open hostility (In the UK)?
