In agreement with everything above,
But when someone accuses us of peeping (or "watching" the kids as above) and we're just flying, that's a thin line. Just because it has a camera doesn't mean it's being used to perform surveillance.
I think, you would have been better off going over to try to educate her let her know what your doing, lots of people are sceptical of drones , in the media they are often seen as objects to spy on people and things, not enough is being done to show people of the benefits of drones, so when you get a chance you need to take it.
On a more serious note, there are regulations on how close you can fly to groups of people without there permission, in my country it's 50 meters, there are very good reasons for this law and it needs to be respected, for the sake of those who are flying within the law..
It's a good topic that you have brought up, and one that will help others understanding how JOE public might react whether out of ignorance or not knowing enough about drones, so the next time it happens engage with them and let them know what your at , and that your flying within the law. Good luck.. |
