In the video, a man recounts his experience of being detained and arrested by the West Yorkshire police for flying a drone near a police station. He was initially detained for breach of the peace but was later arrested for an air navigation order offense. After being held in custody for several hours, he was released without charge. The man is now suing the police for over ยฃ10k in exemplary damages for false arrest and defamation.
The man claims that he was unfairly targeted by the police and that they had no reason to arrest him. He argues that he had the necessary permissions to fly his drone and that he was not endangering anyone. He also suggests that the police officers who detained him were rude and aggressive towards him.
The case has now been resolved, and the man plans to file an official complaint with the police professional standards directorate. He believes that his treatment by the police was unacceptable and that he deserves compensation for the harm caused to his reputation. The video raises important questions about the use of drones and the powers of the police to detain and arrest individuals.
