Sid, this is not as easy as you may think with the stuff from Warton. This is not a case of going to Maplin and buying a transmitter to steal the UAS as it gets closer to you than it is to the operator.
As for Cocnutty's reposnse about the time to get them certified by the CAA, well I think I covered that in some depth already, but in case you missed it....the people demanding the changes are the people who make the rules.
If Parliament decides to give the Police less money to spend and the Police say they can't do the job for that money, because of legal obstructions, then Parliament can decide to make it possible for them to do the job by removing the obstructions.
I'm not saying they will, but they can.
