Andrewrob... It was also on News Night and had the same 'expert' discussing things.
There is a simple solution to 'privacy' worries, If the CAA asked for a privacy statement to be included in your ops manual then it would be a condition of retaining your permission to operate. Overstep the mark and you can't fly any more. Just who polices it is a potential stumbling block.
Its all really fall out from the Leveson Inquiry and how the press use new technology. Its similar to phone hacking and the such, give someone the oportunity and they will take it. I've not seen any reported cases of privacy invasion in the UK so it seems like a premptive strike by the BBC on what the tabloids MAY get up to. The BBC has got to be seen as absolutely pure at the moment.

Fly,crash,glue,repeat!
Just got round to watching this with sound!
Irritating scaremongering as usual. The company doing the filming didn't really help matters either by saying if it goes belly up its very dangerous (a lot of things are when they go wrong) and as for Noel Sharky, the less said the better.
Also to film through my neighbors windows without them noticing they'd have to be deaf and blind. It would be a lot easier for me to setup a tripod and a telephoto.

Yep, ffs! I wonder how the hell a ponce like Noel Sharky ever gets selected to be interviewed for such an item anyway. Arrogant tit.

Considering the UK population is the most heavily watched int he world I think the BBC have a neck to not mention that fact as well.
The beeb tow the governments line, so if they are commenting on it, you can bet it's only a matter of time before they make some rules about it. This will end up being license for this & license for that...

Privacy license.
Where does all this end? and if they go the other route...they will ban our aerial video work etc & thus making our craft worthless!!!!!
