Its always going to happen no matter what laws are put in place , just like people speeding , robbing ect
pillock, ruining it for the people that fly within the rules.hope they get him/her and plant a really heavy fine on them.
It's like that here in the states with gun laws. The laws only affect law abiding citizens.
The owner of that drone needs to be punished and fined heavily.
No absolutely not for several reasons.
A) It's a very small racing/FPV UAS. Extremely small radar return if any.
B) Modern RADAR are filtered to not show smaller objects otherwise the screen would be full of birds, trash, MYLAR balloons etc.

Thank you for explaining. [emoji1303]
I can't even imagine what someone is thinking doing this. Because yeah, drones never go off course or fly away out of control or anything.
Not only do you put everyone else's life at risk, but the drone operators life would pretty much be over if the unthinkable happened and he/she caused a plane full of people to be hurt or killed, not to mention anyone on the ground.

Idiots like this will screw the Hobby for the rest of us.
You ever been there a military airport and seeing a C5 Galaxy or c-141 come in, they look like they are just barely moving.
Looks like someone fairly skilled in piloting a racing drone being a dinglefritz. In my opinion thats where the odd angles come from.

True the C-5’s look like they are practically floating.
I'll agree with most of the previous posts here:
Idiot.
And it's not just people in the States doing these foolish and dangerous things. About a month ago, some moron was flying over Halifax, Nova Scotia's 'Stanfield International Airport' and was spotted by several pilots. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police were notified and they were able to keep the drone in sight for a period of time before losing it over a forested ridge line.
If the guy knew he was being followed by the RCMP, he just flew over tall trees and landed,perhaps waiting until later to retrieve his drone.
Here, in Canada, if he'd been caught, he'd face a $3,000 fine and confiscation of his aircraft.
For those of us who responsibly fly our quadcopters, these incidents just serve to remind us that the few always ruin things for the many.

That's what I believed when I first saw it. There is less stabilization and it turns fast, keeping the plane in frame.
He's not "missing" and they know exactly who he is. The problem is proving it was him (he says it was not him and he "found" the video on a random SD card).
