In this video, a group of people visit the Kentish Town Police Station in London to explore and take pictures. However, their visit takes a serious turn when the sergeant questions them about their drone usage. The group argues that they are legally allowed to fly their drone as it weighs less than 250 grams and therefore doesn’t require a flyer’s ID. However, the sergeant insists on seeing their operator’s ID, which they eventually show. The group also discusses the drone laws and regulations with the sergeant, citing the CIA website and police powers.
In the second paragraph, the group discusses the difference between operator’s ID and flyer’s ID, which is necessary for drones weighing over 250 grams. The sergeant argues that the operator’s ID is required to confirm the legal use of the drone, and if he suspects an offense, he may potentially arrest the person to confirm their name. The group shows the sergeant a leaflet distributed by the West Midlands police that lists the drone laws and states that they have third-party insurance in case of any accidents.
In the third paragraph, the group discusses the legality of filming near a school and how the police could only require personal details if they have legal power to do so. The sergeant acknowledges that the law permits filming outside the school but emphasizes that the police have received complaints about filming and that the officers are identifiable via their shoulder number. The group emphasizes that they are not causing any trouble and are only interested in exploring and taking pictures.
In the final paragraph, the group wraps up their visit and moves on as it is getting dark. They discuss the Premier event they are missing and bid farewell to their audience. They also acknowledge the sergeant’s efforts to ensure that the group follows the law, and the importance of understanding the regulations and laws around drone usage. The video concludes with the group leaving the police station and moving on to their next destination.
