Attack of the drones: ‘Nefarious’ private use rising, says top Blighty copper

Well as a drone (I prefere the term quadcopter) owner and flyer, I am more worried about the dis-information peddled by TPTB & Mr Plod. Whilst a GoPro can take some awesome photo's, it ain't got a zoom so flown legally at a distance there sould be no privacy issues. Ironically flown at a legal distance it is all but silent and more likely to create a paranoid response when or if seen. As a model aircraft flyer of many years I realise how unreliable they can all be and realise that a motor failure or similar could bring the thing down at any instant so responsible flying is just common sense.
