Apologies if this in the wrong section.
But i have to say that this guy has gotten off lightly £1800 for nine breaches is not a deterrent to others.

Perhaps the good thing is that at least someone has been convicted - not just fined, but really convicted!- that ought to serve as a deterrent, I should think. Next step step should be confiscation of the gear, but perhaps UK law is too lax for that.
It's a bit odd that the BBC has used his pictures to illustrate the article.
Hey that's not a bad view, one or two readers might think, and be tempted to try it themselves.

I wonder what he charged the BBC as a fee, perhaps £1800 !

I'm not sure whether to be impressed or appalled by this product. I cannot imagine where this technology will be in 20 years time, and the grief that it will be causing.

Hmm.. it does sound as if he got all his equipment confiscated which will add a fair amount to the blow.

You'd think after being given "several warnings from the police", and getting arrested, he'd start to understand the consequences of his actions.
To get arrested a second time, and have more than one of his drones confiscated before ending up in court suggest he wasn't taking any of it seriously.
