Drones are now banned from Derby parks over 'security and privacy' issues so says the Derbyshire ET.
It's bloody irritating, not least because it seems to be largely borne out of ignorance. People seem to think you can zoom into closeup shots of people from a height of 150+ft. I wouldn't fly over a busy park anyway, but this rule seems to apply irrespective of the number of people around. The CAA guidelines provide more than enough protection and I'd be ok with that becoming law for all UAV pilots. But this blanket ban is just daft IMO.
