Ranger Tries to stop me Flying My Drone Over Loch Doon
Рет қаралды 1,013,150
2 жыл бұрынMy first slightly negative encounter while flying a drone. Here's how to politely let someone know that you're not going to be bullied by anyone, regardless of whether it is Police, a Ranger or any other Karen who is trying to stop you from flying your drone, especially if a ranger tries to stop you flying your drone over Loch Doon
This Ranger seems like a nice big fella, but it's not good form to approach someone while they are flying and for your first words to be "Whit ye daein?" And then to follow that up with; "No drones!" No point in me being rude to the guy, so I just laughed and carried on doing what I was doing :)
If you'd like to support me to get out and about more and visit more of Scotland with my DJI mini 2 drone, you could always stick some fuel in my tank using this link. And it is very much appreciated!

You, sad misguided person, are unfortunately what happens to people when you turn everything into a cult-like agenda and think you're championing causes without having or using the slightest bit of rational thinking. You become extremists in everything you do because you push causes instead of thinking your way through problems and ACTUALLY reasoning what effects you're having along the way. That blind ambition and zealot behavior to "THE MISSION" is kind of how green-shirt guy, and others like him, begin to abuse their perceived power and authority. Most people are concerned about the environment and animals and want to protect them. BUT, when you are the kind of person that does things like in california where they divert almost every bit of fresh water coming into California from the Canadian Rockies causing endless droughts, because according to the "environmentalists and animal rights zealots, they need to save one tiny little species of fish, you end up with the kind of environmental disasters that are made by unreasonable people... CUZ MUH FEELINGS. Destroy everything for your cause... Even things you are trying to protect. The leftist way.

He told me that I wasn't allowed to fly drones here. When i informed him that it isn't a drone he said 'well i dont know what they look like'! The conversation ended up with me selecting 'Loiter mode' whilst we had a few choice words, i lost site of my wing for a few minutes LOL. He even said he had seen me many times and had reported me to the police. I told him to call them whilst we were talking but he declined!!!! I'm ex military and thought 'why have i served all over the world for some idiot to come over on a sunday afternoon to tell me what i can and cant do......He left after a few choice words from me.....I wanted to be as calm as you but sadly i wasn't....I'm sure there will be a next time whereby i can practice what you did, thanks mate!!!!

I get the feeling that he 'patrols' the area, ordering wild campers to douse their campfires. I've been told by another commenter that he was approached by this particular ranger recently while he was using a paddle-board at the loch, and the ranger told him that paddle-boards were not allowed. Now, this is clearly a case of a ranger making up his own rules and trying to enforce them. most people WILL fold because they don't really know the rules and will assume that the ranger does.

Great job and example to all of us! I had a thought a couple weeks ago after watching a few videos of pilots getting confrontational about this situation... What if instead of immediately getting defensive, we get educational? So, I've typed up some 1 page information pages on different subject such as Drone Laws, the difference between recreational and commercial part 107, safety, and other resources. I print 5 or 6 of each off and put them on clipboards on my tailgate while flying. This way, I can explain that if I take my eyes off the screen to explain things to them it could be a real safety issue but the literature over on my tailgate will answer a lot of their questions. I've had a couple people tell me that they were about to confront me about it but didn't after reading my info.

I have survived C19 and had a street party back in April to celebrate the relaxation of the rules and celebrate my 77th. In fact I enjoyed C19 from a some what selfish way, no "friends" coming round to borrow my good gear and return it dirty or broken. Neighbors who came with armfuls of veg and left with our home grown fruit. Shopping days were limited to one person, once a week. We suggested to neighbor's they stagger the days/time, so we all had fresh bread etc. each day. I watched tons of KZfaq, worked in the garden and tested beer. So Aaron keep yer pecker up and go annoy the wife, all the best. regard's from hot wet Vietnam

Well-handled Windswept! These miserables are everywhere. I don't understand the psychology behind it. I'm a helicopter pilot (I was ) - people go to great lengths to complain about the noise (and we make a HUGE effort to not make unnecessary noise and are acutely aware of this issue). These same miscreants live on a busy road where they ignore loud truck and other traffic noise but if they THINK they hear a distant helicopter, they are on the phone in seconds sigh...

@@WindsweptRobert Why should we care? Well, maybe because we're all trying to rub along and while flying a drone around gives one person pleasure (you), it's annoying multiple other people. You bring this out into the countryside where it's quiet and then make a load of noise - of course it's going to annoy people; the people that are there will most likely be seeking some peace and solice from what is a noisy and crowded society and you're selfishly shattering that. Why don't you just fly it where there is already a load of hustle and bustle and people will be less bothered by it? You say you don't care about other people - well, maybe next your neighbour won't care about you when he starts noisily practicing violin at 10pm, or gets a cat that starts defecating in your flower beds, or gets a dog that barks morning noon and night...
