It's Illegal To Fly The Drone Over The Prison 🛸🎥❌

Today we take a look around HMP Leicester, 116 Welford Rd, Leicester LE2 7AJ.
We get told that it's illegal to fly a drone over a prison but we just wanted to fly it from outside the flight restriction zone.
After we walked around and made our observations, we take the drone up for a view from the sky.
We was joined by ‪@TheTorbinator1‬ on this video.
Enjoy!

I really love your style of auditing. You walk assertively up to the edge of your rights and firmly root yourself there with no intention of going beyond them. You're never rude or aggressive and you make people who act that way look like buffoons. Beyond all that, you even manage to be genuinely educational. Keep up the great work.

[@md-ps2hx]

I've mentioned this to other auditors. There's a business opportunity available for one (or a group of you) to bridge the gap between new auditors and businesses and the police. You could be offering your services as a (paid) consultant, advising businesses, private security firms AND the police of what they should be aware of, when dealing with members of the public who are filming onsite. From a business point of view it should be pointed out to them the positives of how good audit reflects on their business Teach the police, why they should stop going down the terrorist route for a stop and search. With the use of drones a lot of police are slow to become aware of what is and isn't legal.

As auditors go I quite like you pal. Your very calm and on the whole fairly well educated with the police and the law. However you need to stay away from those idiots like that fool that's latched onto you. They are only seeing your success and want a piece of the action. My advice would be to carry on as you have been and stay away from those idiots.

That isn't a national sign it differs from force to force. For example you may find them in yellow or a different shape ie a triangle. It's just a tactical regonintion symbol. The reason it's displayed on the roof is so it can be identified from the air. So it's nothing to do with a blood splatter. It's just an identification to show the vehicle is armed.

Just a comment. In many videos, auditors suggest that people requesting privacy should simply keep away from the person with the camera. In this video you try and question someone who clearly doesn’t want to be filmed, and thus retreats from you, and they get called out for being “rude”. Is there another option for someone who is camera shy which meets with your approval?

As folks have already mentioned in the comments about escapes from Leicester gaol the only man too do so was Albert Hattersley, 1953,who did break his legs quite badly.

[@dearnapst]

That have to be the most ancient looking prisons of all you shown, the outdoor area for the prisoners is tiny. BTW those 2 black cars was looking out for you, i'm pretty sure.

[@StevieProton]

The FRZ for most UK prisons only extends from ground level to 50 metres. So, if you take off outside the FRZ and up to at least 50 metres and below 400 feet you can fly over a prison. They're concerned mainly with people dropping stuff like phones and drugs. So, they probably think that anything dropped form higher than 50 metres (164 feet) isn't a problem. Mind you, most prison staff don't know that. So, they might try and give you agro about it. Don't forget that some prisons, Leeds for example, are inside an FRZ from the proximity of the airport and the prison gets a free pass on that one.

[@TheSadButMadLad]

Woman in the van was trying to tell a drone operator who is trained and knows the rules how and where you can fly a drone. All because she thought it was illegal because of what the prison officer had said - and she's thinks authority figures are always right.

[@aireboat7988]

You mean like many auditors take the word of other auditors without question?

[@Ndqar]

She wouldn't fly a drone without extra permission. I guess that's her choice. I know I wouldn't ride a skateboard in the area even if I got permission from the Warden and all the inmates, but thats because I can't ride a skateboard to save my life.

[@pup6728]

There’s more to legislation around where you can fly drones than you’ll learn on a drone course. There’s laws and regulations around refineries and fuel depots for instance. These will prohibit overflights by drones as they aren’t intrinsically safe. Prisons have their own legislation too - again, you won’t learn that on a basic drone course. The police have specific stop and search powers around prisons relating to drone flights as an example. The CAA themselves point out drone flying is subject to other laws and restrictions that they can’t advise on.

[@rampageryan2289]

A trained drone operator? Yet mentions a helipad , bet he didn’t call them to let them know he was flying , putting an air ambulance at risk . Amazing all theses drone flights you conduct yet you never show your drone height , be honest and open as you want every own else’s to be , unless you are breaking the rules too ?

[@aireboat7988]

@@pup6728 That's food for thought... Refineries are quite rightly obsessive about fire safety. Waving a lithium battery about,a few hundred feet above one, isn't really a safe or sensible thing to do is it?

The CAA rules are only about ensuring safety in airspace. Completely separate legislation override the CAA height/distance rules where prisons are invoked. The CAA explain that other legislation that they won’t cover will apply to certain situations/locations in their guide to drone laws.

[@jakemorj5498]

Prison officers don’t want to be filmed as they don’t want themselves and their personal vehicles being publicly identified for their safety and security (as well as the safety of their families). They have to say no to sometimes very dangerous criminals who are well connected on the out and willing to intimidate and hurt them if necessary or if they are upset by officers who are simply doing their job and implementing standard prison procedures and rules. Leave them alone and have a bit of sensitivity towards the risk you could be putting them in. The job can be very dangerous
