UK gets first drone conviction after flights over football stadiums |
September 21, 2015
A U.K. man has been convicted of flying drones illegally over buildings and congested areas, the first conviction of its type in the country.
Nigel Wilson of Nottingham was fined £1,800 (US$2,800) and ordered to pay an additional £600 in costs after pleading guilty to offenses under the U.K.'s Air Navigation Order 2009. He was also banned from purchasing, owning or flying a drone, or assisting anyone else to fly a drone, for the next two years.
Manchester Police arrested Wilson last October after complaints about drone flights over the Etihad Stadium on match days.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
