[QUOTE="shiningmonk, post: 80289, member: 15999"] I need to check my roof tiles. Trouble is that if I use my Spark, then I'm potentially breaking the law since it will be within 50 metres of other people's houses, even though I won't fly over their properties or deliberately film them. I suspect that nobody is going to care what I do (and I'm sure, from many YouTube videos I've seen, that a lot of drone users pay little attention to this rule anyway). But why should I be at risk of prosecution when the only inconvenience will be a noise similar to an electric lawn mower? Does anyone else agree that the law, which is probably contrary to ECHR Article 8 (right to enjoy home), needs to be changed to include exceptions to allow people to fly within 50 metre of other people or property? Just what those exceptions ought to be may be a matter of debate. [/QUOTE]
