UK Police Powers and YOUR Drone - What You Need to Know!

UK Police Powers and YOUR Drone - What You Need to Know!

Hey everyone! In the next video of our series in collaboration with the National Police Chiefs’ Council Counter Drones Team, we tackle the complex but vital subject of police powers over your drone and flight. What does an officer require to check your Operator ID? What powers of search and seizure are there? When can a police officer require you to land your drone.

In this video, we attempt to cut through the discussion around this important topic and provide a look at how the legislation is and can be enforced by police in the UK.

To find out more about the specific legislation discussed in today’s video: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/...
