then the police should do, cause i am have a right to privacy in my own house and garden as do my children especially in their bedrooms that superceeds your right and anybody else's to fly over my house and spy on me. under no circumstance should you be able to film above my house or through any of my windows.BetScalper wrote: ↑Sat Jul 22, 2017 10:30 amIt's not to stop people flying them over your house. Don't you think the police have enough to do. They are not going to attend every phone call about one, only near airports or prisons, they don't have the resources to attend every call out.to75ne wrote: ↑Sat Jul 22, 2017 10:18 am"I don't think the new licence means pervs and nonces can't have one, so it would kind of defeat your argument.

true but its another obstacle to enabling them.
but i cant see this as political correctness;
firstly its a privacy problem as far as i am concerned, i dont like them over my house and garden, secondly to many backward feeble minded stupid people in this country who will fly them near airports, or hack them to overide any inbuilt geo penning, and thirdly they are a godsend to criminals and perverts.
If a pervert or criminal wants one then a register or safety test is not going to put them off one bit.
And like I said, they can just order one from an EU country, which will easily bypass UK customs etc.
these things should be heavly regulated and only allowed to be operated in specific controlled zones where nobodys privacey is breeched and everybody is safe from these things.
