Hey OP I wonder if the little Hitler would have left you alone if you were wearing a HiViz vest?
Here in NZ a hiVIZ vest pretty much makes whatever your doing legitimate!
Yeah, really! I have seen professional UAV operators conducting surveys of earthquake damaged buildings in Christchurch, New Zealand.All wearing HiVis.
Mind you, A white shirt and black tie UNDER the Hi Vis and you will really be cooking.
