A you tuber who regularly flys drones over UK places of interest turned his attention to the Southport riot near the scene of the stabbing.
Initially he shot from the ground, but then launched his drone, whilst Polair was overhead. He states he has contacted police regarding this flight.
The video demonstrates what can be achieved in such circumstances with a consumer, sub 250gram drone. The recent news of a fpv drone targeting and taking down a military helicopter in Ukraine is food for thought. During a 90 minute low speed (at times) car chase in LA yesterday a news chopper thought they saw a drone enter the chase.
