Remember in the UK, where the Daily Mail is based there are already rules that prohibit the use of UAS for spying on celebs. Of course the operator would have to be caught, but if they are the rules to prosecute them exist.

Who will dob them in?? Any one of the 70 licenced operators trying to make money legally and with hard won permissions. That's who.

This story is written off the back of the WSJ one and mentioning the FAA has no bearing in the UK!

I see they forgot to mention Mersyside police got themselves into trouble over that UAS arrest as they did not have the correct paperwork from the CAA.

I did find reading the Coronation Street spoiler interesting on the right hand side of the page though. Nice to catch up in Africa ;-)

This report also appeared in the Times on Saturday and Sunday Times in the UK. Seems to me typical journalist sensationalism .

The media sure knows how to say " The sky is falling...."
Crap, this will bring about such nonsensical rules and regs that the average hobbyist will have to live by.
