'Code error' when clicking the UK link mate - here we must not take off/land a drone with a camera on it within 30m of any people/vehicles/buildings not in our control and this is extended to 50m during flight. Many think that this is due to flight safety but it isn't - it's part of the Data Protection Act to protect the privacy of others. You are also obligated to delete any footage/stills you capture that accidentally get too close to the above (a clear shot of an individual's profile/car reg number/the interior of a building) and you must not post sensitive captures on social media without the consent of others in your image.

You're welcome - note that we can fly over small groups of people and single buildings (not power plants/hospitals/schools/prisons/land marks/busy roads etc) providing the drone is 50m-120m above. I don't think the DPA and CAA has taken zoom lenses into account though

Very good find Rolling56. Thanks for sharing

Hilarious considering London has more cameras monitoring public places then any city in the world.

Do you think they blur out all the faces & license plates?

Drones are banned in London - these laws are for the public taking random images of the public for personal use in UK airspace and not 'big brother' protecting the public - or at least trying to! BTW - Beijing has more surveillance cameras than London (and the most in the world) and we have 66 cities across the UK - London being just one of them!
