3 Dutchmen arrested for filming with drone in restricted area, Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Re: 3 Dutchmen arrested for filming with drone in restricted area, Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Being 50 years younger than some of you old farts doesn't mean they're little kids. They're grown men who knew damn well what they were doing. You don't accidentally fly a drone over the PM's house (or whatever restricted area it was).

Well, in their defense.... It's not like there's marks saying "Prime minister's house".
Maybe they were making a documentary about the serial kiddy rapist who used to live next door, for example?

The German parliament doesn't look like a parliament; won't be an excuse if you fly a drone over it.
And I'd be extra cautious if there is shit-loads of heavily armed police about; might indicate that flying a drone might not be a good idea.

Exactly this, it only takes 2 secs to get their attention, point at the drone and ask "ok?" Especially the one who is a photographer for a media company should have known this.hanno wrote:The German parliament doesn't look like a parliament; won't be an excuse if you fly a drone over it.

Some of these young adults fly to places like Cambodia thinking their youth gives them license to do the crap they can't or won't do back home and their western identities will shield them from local laws. We're seeing this play out in Siem Reap and Phnom Pehn. I don't think they should be sent to prison. Hopefully, SEA isn't taking lessons from North Korea, but they shouldn't go free without some life teaching penalty like community service.
