Calls for drones to be banned from village as man filmed in his bath

[milkmanchris]

Quiet news day in Wiltshire

Not like the Beeb to publish something with no evidence (rule 32 of the internet)

[SquaddingQuads]

IF true that’s pretty shocking, however that’s a BIG if without evidence.

if the guy has his bath in the garden what does he expect

It’s akin to banning cameras with telephoto lenses which could be used for perving, there are already laws in place to protect people from voyeursism.

Has anyone seen this from our favourite speed pilot (next topic down in the “Latest topics” list at the moment) -

Castle Combe - Added to Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty in South West

I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene: [image] Land owner permission not required. Parking at 51.491541, -2.229262, TOAL at 51.492989, -2.230306 Castle Combe is a quintessentially English village often named as the ‘prettiest village in England.' The village sits in the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in north west Wiltshire. Castle Combe has featured regularly as a film location, most recently in The Wolf Man, Stardust and Stephen Spie…

@clinkadink

Look out for tours that include Castle Combe including Mad Max Tours and Around and About Bath which both include the village as part of a wider Wiltshire tour.

About Bath -

Unfortunately there are too many drone users who do not respect either the laws governing the use of drones or people’s privacy. The fact that some drone users find the disregard of these two things to be funny, is a sad indictment of their attitude and it only goes to make life difficult for those who wish to enjoy the hobby without irritating or upsetting non- drone users.

Just followed the BBC link for the Channel Islands regulations for UAV (SUA & SUSA). It appears that drone pilots there have a blanket no fly zone within 50m (buildings and people) rule and have a blanket ban FPV within the Jersey airspace! They don’t follow the UK CAA regulations but have their own set of rules for drone pilots.

@Szennyboy

They don’t follow the UK CAA regulations

Bit like Isle of Man eh

[Seadog]

Oi! When did you take that photo of me in the bath?

[stevelyt]

Cotswold Village. The people who are fortunate to live in that area are always moaning about tourists in their village. Typical BBC a made up story probably by one of their overpaid no talent broadcasters who live in that area. This happened in Ireland the Gardai said to watch out for drones near bedroom windows after one person reported it. That died a death far as I know

[ash2020]

AFAIK, building regs advises obscure glass in bathrooms. It’s a long time since I’ve seen clear glass in anyone’s bathroom.
