Drone over Monivong

I saw my first drone today, on Monivong around 5.15 pm. It was standing in the air at about 10-15m, in front of Canadia Tower, directly before the big intersection when driving southwards. Black, maybe 60 cm diameter, with two "eye-like" red lights.
Are they used for traffic control? Or what else could it be? It was quite a weird encounter... :?

No worries. Probably just these guys again.

You would need a permit.

Ok, let me rephrase...

Are they used to check out when opposition MP's are leaving the NA?

(Actually there was one of these bigger police stops close to where I saw the drone before when I went back two hours later. That's why I mentioned traffic control. Mea culpa. :roll: )

The National Assembly isn't anywhere near Monivong.

Oh, I mistook the Peace Palace for the NA.

Drones in PP are banned ever since a nutter hovered one of them in front of the Queen Mother's windows... https://www.cambodiadaily.com/news/city ... ent-78086/

How's this for kicking accuracy?
