Over here in the UK it's against the law to interfere with someone piloting a drone. I had the same problem with a random walker whilst I was flying on my own farm property. They even called the police on me. Police turned up and cautioned the walker for interfering with my flight and wasting police time. The officers who turned up where awesome, they were both interested in my drone which really pissed off the walker

[@liquidusblue]

It is funny how busy bodies are universal. I don't fly drones. But unless I saw something clearly reckless occurring like flying near an airfield / buzzing public. I wouldn't intervene. Guy in the video above is in the middle of nowhere. They should just leave him and his drone be.

In Germany, according to the air space officials it can lead from 6 months up to 10 years prison if someone interferes a (drone) pilot and if someone will be endangered by that. This can be very quickly the case. I would not wonder if the UK has similiar laws.

I''m from the UK but live in SHANGHAI CHINA, droning here we only get people interested in what the image looks like from the rc controller or questions asking how high/far can it go. As for laws, obviously with it being a huge city there are many NFZ and some that are considered sensitive during certain times, there are guards that can deploy with signal jammers which is shocking BUT confrontations with the public are very, very rare and seeing how calm and polite you interacted with the farmer despite having a low battery and actually the farmer engaging you during flight was nothing short of pleasing, it is so good to know there are pilots who are kind and responsible, not intent on immediate arguments but rather controlling the situation as well as being nice.

[@Eigil_Skovgaard]

We live in a small country where the authorities have become more and more paranoid to private flying. And of course some drone pilots make mistakes and more or less unknowingly violate the rules, which serves the unofficial goal. The ruling strategic goal is to limit private drone activity further, preferably to a full stop. This is done by having "agents" everywhere, normal people indoctrinated to act as police-reporters against their countrymen, to register incidents in order to accumulate such incidents into a general problem. For a near communist tyranny like the current social democratism, it's not safe for the controlling elite to have private drone pilots flying legally everywhere. We could have a political intent with our activities, and the paranoid tyrants in our parliament fear that level of uncontrollable freedom.

A drone flying over your property is NOT illegal provided it is not hovering (which could be construed as an invasion of privacy, due to possibility of gimbaln fact and photographing your property…but would NOT/is NOT trespassing unless the pilot is standing on your property. Learn laws before you speak. And what was referenced to is that you interfering in a drone pilot’s flight can create unsafe conditions (same as entering into a cockpit on a large passenger plane) and therefore that interference is illegal due to creating dangerous conditions. You DO however have the ability to file a complaint with your local aviation agency (I.e. FAA, etc.) and they will investigate. If that pilot (even if an unlicensed hobbyist) is violating the laws regarding UAV’s then they will take appropriate action. However, the WORST thing you can do is be confrontational as it can cause that pilot to crash the drone into another human being. Best to report it and if directly over your property then also take your phone and document it for authorities. But flying like was done in this video is not illegal. If I fly over your property on a flight you have no recourse as I’ve not violated any rights…now if I hover over your property (regardless if I’m photographing or not) then I have violated the law. The laws are different for each country regarding drones. While I try to educate hobbyists (and “pro’s”) alike regarding regulations for my country, I also do the same for people in public who have an issue.

another aspect that makes it odd, is that "my property" only reaches so far about the ground.

How flying a drone somewhere has changed so much! 5/6 years ago people were like delighted to see a drone up in the air! Not anymore! I also got a few confrontations with people who came to me saying to stop flying or like even more and more places with warning notices of prohibited areas and fee's amount! That's sad but that's exactly what's happening lately with the drones and that's why some people are not using their drones anymore to avoid these kind of situations! I think the brands, like Dji and so on, should also invest some time and money to promote their products in a different way and not just selling them like an iPhone. It would help the drone pilots and people's awareness in general.

[@Krullfath]

1:25 What are you talking about? You're allowed to film and fly over private property as long as you're standing on public propterty, and you do not need anyone's consent doing so. I am not sure if this is the case with drones over 250g though

I'm happy that people in the Netherlands don't give a crap. Most dutchies are intrested when they see a drone instead of being scared.

[@dronebuzz]

Tough moments for sure! ;-) This is precisely why, when I fly in public places I always dress the part. (Helmets, vests, business cards, road signage, cones, vehicle, radios, etc. all marked with FAA and Aerial Northwest identification.) Frequently, I use a VO that runs interference and handles initial public person-to-person in-field engagements. In doing so, I have never run into any trouble. Sure, people are curious, but once they understand I am conducting official business, they stand down. 90% of success is showing up and looking the part. I call it "Preventative Practices!" Clearly, each situation is unique. The more professional we look, the less people challenge our flight activities. We let our equipment, attire, and behavior do most of the talking (if you know what I mean!) Thanks for all you do! Keep up the great work! Much love to you and your Danish cohorts, and of course, happy flying, T ;-)

In America we own a farm and 6,000 acres of land. We sometimes see drones over our houses, fields, river, all over while we’re working or hanging outside. We live near a small town and know our neighbors well but could never figure out who was flying them. I’ll be honest it’s a weird feeling seeing an unannounced drone seemingly just checking in on you at random. I don’t know if this is a common trend with other farms but I’m at glad we aren’t the only ones experiencing it 😂

[@KingHaggis]

Even though you're doing nothing wrong, I would try just avoiding these annoying situations by flying in a more remote area. When I started FPV flying years ago, most people were very thrilled about it. I would take my foamy Easystar with me on our boat vacations and I always had these enthousiastic people wanting to look through my Fatshark goggles. It was fun! But now I'd rather just stand somewhere in the middle of nowhere because people's opinions about this hobby seem to have radically changed. Happy flying to you and don't let others ruin your hobby for you. Especially when you're doing nothing wrong.

[@quandary1382]

Even standing in the middle of nowhere you'll get people interfering. Random dog walkers etc, or people who think you aren't allowed to fly over their property.

yes i waited for that! :DD I dont know if the local requirement for groups of people is different in denmark to those in germany, but you can actually fly over small groups of people. The german (and i think its not an extension to the eu -) law says you can fly over people as long as they are able to evacuate the location without a problem. So 50 people for example can not evacuate a location fast enough, 5 can though.

Love your informative videos! I would only suggest a safer area to park and fly the drone than the side of the road. There are many accidents here in the United States when a driver is not paying attention and collides with a parked vehicle on the side of the road. Additionally, you would be less noticeable when flying the drone.

I do get why the guy stopped in this particular case, but overall I wish all of these self-appointed drone police (or electric scooter police, another of my hobbies) would wake up and realize they're putting their own safety at risk. If you see somebody who is not behaving recklessly, not endangering anyone, not bothering anyone, and is just minding his own business then you should return the favor and do the same. If you run around seeking needless confrontations with people you are most certainly going to find them, and eventually you're going to confront the wrong person and it will come back to bite you.

[@Ucanchokeonit]

This is one of the biggest design flaws of western democracy. The past has taught us over and over that reducing people down into group identities always ends very, very bad. Western Democracy got it right when we decided to take the group identity out of the picture and instead build our culture around the individual with an overarching concept of a single collective group which identified is "The public". It works. It just plain fucking works. We could talk for hours about all the wondrous discoveries we unlocked when we embarked down this road. But the bottom line is that Western Democracy proved beyond doubt that in order to unlock the power of a culture, you must maximize the citizens ability to think freely and let them rise and fall through meritocracy. This can't be debated. But, it's not a a perfect system. And from what I can tell, a massive, destabilizing flaw that emerges from this is that over time the population seems to drift away from and eventually start to forget about the importance and the meaning of the overarching principle of public interest. And the less and less thst citizens see themselves as a member of the group known as The Public, then the more and more they view themselves as a free and independent individual untied from everyone. And this inevitably leads to a general tendency for people to become self centered and believe that their individual rights superceed the rights of anyone else around them. People absolutely need to hold themselves up to be a free and independent individual, but we need to remember that we are an individual that is just one of many who together make up The Public. And at the end of the day, no one individual is more important than the best interests of The Public. If we don't start teaching this again then we will lose this democracy.

[@seuratguy]

I'm a little confused. At 1:25 you say you need permission to fly over private property but at 7:18 you say you don't need permission as long as you aren't standing on his land. Are you saying drone pilots aren't allowed to fly OVER any private property (in your country) without permission of the owner? The vast majority of land is owned privately, right? That would be incredibly restrictive. Plus, what does the incredibly vague term "respect privacy" mean? Some people will interpret that as not wanting to be on video at all while others may see that very narrowly as getting close to a bedroom or bathroom window and hovering.

[@TECHDRONEMEDIA]

Where is lives is a no go, but his fields are fine.. this is how it is here :-)

[@jcduplessis1]

I have to say Art, I agree. I'm also confused regarding this fact.... Property is either private or public. The term "flying over something" is also quite clear i.e. the drone is above it. Therefore, if your drone is "flying above" private property without proper consent, then surely you are breaking the law by all means? I would also think that if you plan to publicly post any footage, "respecting privacy" means that when you film someone in a public area without their consent, it could be allowed only if they are not recognizable in the film (either due to distance in the shot or by obscuring their identity by blurring out their faces) thereby keeping them anonymous. I am sure that each area has there own ways of doing things but in the end, according to the law, you will still be in the wrong. If I'm wrong (hopefully), please feel free to correct me. Kind regards.

[@19MadMike]

I'm really confused by this also. Like you said, most land is owned by someone so you can't really fly anywhere then. 'Where is lives is a no go, but his fields are fine' but his fields are also private property so either you can fly over private property or you can't, surely it can't be 'some private property but not other'...

I live in central Manitoba, in Canada, and have had a DJI Mini 2, DJI Mini 3 Pro, finally traded up to DJI AIR 2S (thank goodness for INSURANCE, I am about to get my 2nd Air 2S replacement) ... I've been flying a lot (well, less in the boring white-ground winter months) - but have NEVER had a "Karen" incident, up until 3 weeks ago - and since that time, I've met and had nasty confrontations with FOUR of them! I know my rights, I have my license, and fly within the limits of the law at all times. But this seems to be a ravaging plague to the point where I don't know what unexpected "authority" will make it unpleasant next!!

In most countries being allowed to record video/photos of people in publicly accessible places is entirely different thing than being able to publish those so that people are recognizable. For publishing those videos/images you need permission from those people.
