(First published at my Facebook acount) I'm offended of the Administrative Court / Supreme Administrative Court's decision that the camera-carrying drones equals surveillance camera in Sweden. They are not informed at all. The judgment is based on a law from 1977. In addition, I interpret the verdict as a pure violation of the EU's Article 10. Will I stop flying with my 10,000 crowns drone? Answer: no. Am i supposed to spy on others with my camera attached to the drone? Answer: no. I think of people's privacy? Answer: yes. Authorities have made me a lawbreaker. I will not stop flying with the camera attached. I have my right to express in words as in the picture. I do not violate the privacy of others and have never done, with my drone flyovers. Remember that the new word "dronealism" (journalists flying and gives a picture of events from above) are also covered by this judgment. It's a violation of the free speech in Sweden in my opinion! Call me an "overreacting" person. I have my right to fly and photograph / film just as much as those who put a "Go Pro"- camera on the car's window pane or those bicycles with a camera on the steering column. It is an unjust verdict. I will become an offender against my will. It is appalling that law-abiding citizens constantly punished, because we are law-abiding. It's terrible! It's a horror. And i am talking about Sweden.... Sorry all, this is how I feel and it's my frustration. Can I apply for political asylum in the US? ;-) Thanks for all drone photos, Sorry for my (supposed bad) English grammar. Fly and be free! We can't do that in Sweden for the moment.
