In this video, a YouTuber known as News Now Yorkshire visits Cumbria HQ in Penrith, with the aim of collecting 20 pence that Inspector Charles owes him. News Now Yorkshire flies his drone around the police station, showing viewers the different departments and buildings within the premises. A police officer on a bicycle approaches News Now Yorkshire and warns him that he needs an aviation certificate and a license to fly a drone close to police premises. News Now Yorkshire brushes off the warning and continues to fly the drone.
The situation escalates when police officers arrive and question News Now Yorkshire about his drone. They ask him about his aviation certification and his drone license, but News Now Yorkshire is evasive and confrontational. Eventually, he reveals that he has a sticker on his drone that is registered with the Civil Aviation Authority, which satisfies the legal requirements for flying a drone. However, he refuses to show the sticker to the police officers.
The conversation between News Now Yorkshire and the police officers becomes increasingly tense, with News Now Yorkshire insisting that he is innocent until proven guilty and accusing the police officers of harassment. The police officers warn him that they have the power to make his drone land if they suspect that he is committing an offense, but News Now Yorkshire argues that they need reasonable suspicion to do so. The video ends with News Now Yorkshire flying his drone away from the police station and joking about how the longer the conversation goes on, the more money he will make from the video.
In conclusion, this video highlights the importance of following aviation regulations and obtaining the necessary licenses and certifications for flying a drone. It also illustrates the potential conflicts that can arise between drone operators and law enforcement when flying a drone close to sensitive areas, such as police stations. While the video may be entertaining for some viewers, it raises important questions about the responsibilities of drone operators and the limits of their freedoms in public spaces.
