Todd Brown has been around here for a while; he even got himself some publicity there.
Seems it was a mistake and the authorities have chilled. (And no photos with handcuffs, notice.) A beer for the bodyguards and all cool.

Covered in the Cambodia Daily today:

Two foreign filmmakers were arrested Tuesday morning after their drone was seen filming in the skies near Prime Minister HE’s house in Phnom Penh—a flight that provided a litmus test for February’s ban on unauthorized drone operation in the city.

Gelles Sainsaily, 35, a French freelance drone operator, was detained along with American filmmaker Todd Brown, 39, when their camera-equipped drone caught the attention of authorities as it passed in front of Mr. HE’s house in Daun Penh district, according to Soem Vuthy, deputy municipal police chief in charge of internal security.......

I've seen one flying around the "parade" here in Jeddah during national day. I assume it was a fun drone, and not the NSA's.

The answer to that is almost certainly "no" unless you're a member of Saudi's royal family, or biggest (richest) families - in which case you can almost certainly do what the fuck you feel like on the certain knowledge that no-one has the power to stop you.
