Drone photographs Newly Weds

[Bad Raven]

Drone Pilot photographs Newly Weds on roof garden.  Nothing to comment on here?

Except this drone was overflying at great altitude central Hong Kong cityscape from way above the skyscrapers. The Pilot admits that he was "out of battery" and the drone was returning on automatic.

And the BBC features it along an "amazing find, well done!" feature with not a single trace of any hint that what was done was dangerous, happily showing an interview with the pilot as a celebrity...............they in effect promoted it!!

These are the rules for Hong Kong:-

Drone Laws In Hong Kong

    Any drone over 7kg empty weigh requires an air permit for every flight
    You must fly your drone below 300 feet at all times
    It is your responsibility to ensure you do not collide with any helicopter or light aircraft
    You must keep a safe distance between your drone and people and property on the ground
    You cannot fly over populated areas, and congested areas
    You shall not fly a drone over or close to any installation that would present a risk to safety in the event of damage due to any impact by the drone

The following areas are considered to fall under this category; Hong Kong International Airport, North Lantau Coastal area,  coastal areas from Tai Lam Chung to Tsuen Wan and Tsing Yi Island, coastal areas at both sides of the Victoria Harbour and Shek Kong area.
    You must only operate during daylight hours
    Your flying site should be clear of vessels, vehicles, people, or structures
    Your flying site should be clear of power sources such as power lines, transformer stations, pylons, and transmitter towers, etc which might cause radio interference
    Your flying site should be flat to ensure safe take off and landing and should also be free from visual obstruction.
