I've no idea about the rules in Canada, but in the UK you can't fly closer the 50m to any person not in your control or property you don't have permission to fly near. To be sure, just google the rules for drones in your country. Better safe than sorry IMO, or at least know where you stand.
Regarding deleting videos, I've been asked a few times to delete photos by security guards, police officers etc. (I sell images through a stock agency). Unfortunately for them, I know the law & refuse, always, unless I feel it's just easier to do it in front of them for a quiet life, then when I get home I use data recovery software to get them all back again.
It is actually illegal for anyone to make you delete photos or to delete them themselves if they think there's a problem. The reason being the photos (or video) on the card are evidence to whatever crime they think you may have committed. That being the case, by deleting the photos/video, you're actually destroying evidence, which can carry hefty penalties, especially for a police officer for example, who should know better. |
