To be really honest with you, but I am bit concerned watching a drone landing zone marking in an underground parking about the level of Order the transport Police wants to bring into public....
Can we assure that the limits of reason are kept in these worryingly times?

The point is, and that's why that is not only a joke, that I have had googled about shooting video footage in London with a Drone and that turns out to be about completely forbidden, which does make kinda sense, but with a big but.
If anyone would intend to film a Skateboard run at nighttime through an empty part of The City, which is perfect by light settings, no pedestrians and great tarmac, another guy filming would be fine, an RC car mounted cam would be fine, but a low flying drone in close distance would be really, really illegal.
The point is that Anglo-Saxon Law, and so do the USA, allow flexible laws that force a judge to look at individual cases while keeping a general perspective in mind. That means that a Skaterboy using an automatically following drone to make a skate video in central London would go free of charge after being checked by Metropolitan Police bringing it to trial, but an idiot creating a protest video in daylight using a drone that crashes into commuters would get into deep deep trouble, having in the current situation both committed the same core crime.
