I downloaded it using yt-dlp to not give him clicks.
Wow - he does moan. 300 feet above 400 feet is not a silly accident. 2.39km is Beyond line of sight. Like moaning about a speeding ticket.

The newspaper coverage for this has done wonders for peoples understanding of drones (sarcasm). My 4th interaction with a member of the public that I could class as negative happened today with a woman and her yappy dog. 4th in 7 years of drone flying that is.
āYou cant fly your drone here because that guy from wallasey got a huge fine and now the river Mersey is a no fly zoneā
āWell the whole river isnt a no fly zone, only when a restriction is in place or up by the airportā
āIt was in the Wirral globe that its all a no fly zone, theres a camera up there so the police might comeā She then points to a dome camera above port sunlight river parks cafe thats never open.
āThats not what the article said, he got a fine for not being able to see his drone but mines right there.ā Pointed at drone.
She wasnt having it. I told her in that case all cars were banned in her road because one of her neightbours got a speeding ticket. Her brain melted and she walked off. I wasnt getting through to her but didnt really think it was a bad interaction until she turned around and took a photo of me with her phone then continued to walk off. Hopefully wherever she posts it someone sets her right that shes talking out of her arse.

āItās not a drone. I stuck some electrodes in a seagulls brain and it mostly flies itselfā
