" he told the officers he drove to the scene to fly over the helicopter and get video footage of their pursuit."

I wish these people would stick to hanging off radio towers & cranes to take selfies.

People like this will ruin for the rest of us.  I guess no different than anything else in life.  Always a select few that ruins it for the majority....

Well that's all hearsay. No video evidence. Could be just a propaganda scare announcement being used to educate the masses or scare them into obedience. Was just a video of loads of different drones flying as if to say yes all of these are under our laws...

The FAA is actually working with news agencies to help avoid things like this.  In my neck of the woods we are teaming up with our local FAA to learn how to work with emergency responders and gather news safely.  This is unfortunate.
