The difference is night and day for the reasons I just mentioned. I am not flying over people except for where they have been informed that there is a drone overhead and even then, it is a very small number. That's why I fly at first light. And I have spotters on the ground. I consult with police, FAA, and other local authorities. There are numerous precautions in place.
And given it's two different countries, with different rules, it's not exactly the same. I will be shooting London at some point this summer and it will all be legit. I am already working on the planning now.
Please explain to us how you "informed" all the people below that you were flying a drone above them.
