Admittedly, it is an amazing video and very well edited.

However, its possible the worst disregard for law / peoples safety I have ever seen. This video has made it into the London papers, so no doubt the CAA are aware. I hope the pilot (Paul John Raptis) is fined heavily...

 
there should be a section on this forum for all drone police...
Erm don't they call them the FAA where you are from? Remember, this is the UK, we have no need for a drone register here as it stands. People like the user in the video are blatantly breaking UK law which will have implications on all UK quad-copter hobbyists that abide by the law.
 
That was an awesome video and I can see that there is an incredible amount of time cutting; color correcting (colour for the Brits) and adding effects. Love to see this kind of effort and attention to detail. I have never seen London like that...

Thanks for sharing

Well having read previous comments ,most saying how good it was , well OK to watch ,however if the 90% on here who seem to think its OK to fly in a restricted location then without a doubt there will be more and more regulation regarding flying ,as they can see nothing wrong in acting in a manner with total disregard for rules and safety of people. It follows that the 90% would also have the same disregard for these things when flying.their own quadcopter . I honestly believed that the majority on this site were sensible and acted in the best interests of the hobby ,how wrong was I .At some point if this type of irresponsible flying continues then there will only be one rule ,they will be banned totally .
 
Also sure. He is not following the altitude rule. Wish I Had guts to fly like that

And that relates to having a drone police section on this forum how?

Great video.
The pilot might not be British so if the CAA try to find him it might be hard.

I mean, saying this should be posted in a 'drone police' section, is probably the exact reason they need a register your side of the pond. Over here there is only usually one in each village ;)
