The BBC annouced new powers to be given to the police to deal with drone operators, and a register. We knew this was coming, yes?

"Last month flights from Gatwick were suspended for more than 36 hours after drones were reported over the airfield.
The plans follow a consultation into the use of drones which began in July.
The government said it would also expand technology to detect and repel drones from sites like airports and prisons, to prevent any repeat of events like those at Gatwick airport in December."

Very sad.
Silly government.
Nothing is going to stop "crane lights in the fog" incident from happening again.
The REAL panic at Gatwick

We've had a few incidents over here , people using drones to drop contraband behind the walls of the penitentiary.  Guess it take guts.

Oh, it’s just matter of time. Imperialistic ambitions in UK rise as never before.

100 quids for remaining anonymous and not registering/labeling the bird or landing it on police request? I would pay that anytime.... still some freedoms in good old UK.
