Google don’t need that after 45yrs of service thought I was trying to be helpful and informative - but guess you don’t appreciate my comments so I’ll let you be carry on without my input.

That certainly trumps your comment doesn’t it @Pirbright_Drone
Maybe it’s just me but you come across that you think you know it all. I’ve called you out before on something else a while back. I can see a pattern forming here.
So, I give an officer my home address, but, he has doubts ( whether reasonable or not) to believe I’m lying?
Surely it is now up to him to check whether someone with my name lives at that address ? ( I’ve lived here for almost 15 years so there must be public records available to the officer)
He arrests me, under “ reasonable suspicion”. Instant lawsuit pending, because that’s his suspicion, not what’s available in the public domain
Not sure the context of any of the above to be honest. Google don’t need what?
Also trying to be helpful. Don’t recall any calling out or conflict previously - remind me.

At the end of the day we all have a choice, or rather, two choices. Give your details and any required permissions. Have a nice chat and continue your day with a small 15 minute interruption. Refuse to give your details, be difficult, and get arrested. Whole day ruined. I’m pretty sure I know my rights, but I’d rather just keep things easy. My free time is very limited and I’d rather not spend any of it in a cell, wrongfull arrest or not.

For those who don’t understand the Three sea shells joke
I would imagine (and happy to be corrected on this) that @PerkyFlyDji has 45 years of experience in either policing or some other role related to law enforcement. And his comment was highlighting the fact that he didn’t need to Google the answer due to said experience.
To be fair, you wouldn’t have been aware of that (as I wasn’t prior to his post). But equally there was no need to minimise his contribution by just accusing him of blindly Googling the answer.
This is all getting a bit heated, but I’m with @DazC. I’d sooner just hand over what was being asked for than sit in a custody cell with a smug grin on my face because I’ve stood up to “the man” or whatever the motivation would be for not doing so.

I think they would find a reaction like yours offensive and borderline a cause of public offence if within hearing distance of the public - and if you persist in swearing unnecessarily, they’ll very likely arrest you, and you can spend the rest of your day in custody trying to worm your way out - either way you’d have ruined a nice days flying because of nothing but a belligerent self-righteous attitude!

Police often ask for a name to check prior engagement with them. Not sure why you’ve spent so much time researching this unless it’s for an exam you’re doing tbh
you absolutely do need a flyer id if the drone has a camera
Seems no one on this thread is really sure why you posted an initial massive ‘diatribe’ - maybe just pay a solicitor and they’ll give you your answer quicker and concisely.
He’d or she would check voters / PNC / RMS to ascertain your details were correct therefore removing one of the reasons for affecting any arrest and proceed my summary reporting if an offence was reasonably suspected. That would need evidence and that would form the basis of the summons.
Hope that helps
I seem to recall a moto / phrase, that’s often quoted in many threads on here.
Just apply that to life in general and you won’t go wrong.
