the order of the Minister of internal Affairs of Russia should adopt the decision on the suppression of location of unmanned aircraft in the airspace. The purpose of this measure is to protect life, health and property of citizens. We are not talking about a total ban of flying drones. We consider only two General situations – public mass meetings and carrying out urgent investigative and operational search actions.
That is, the police can object if the drone suddenly appears over people gathered on a holiday or a political rally, festivities, costume show, or concert in the open air. Or – over the stadium with the bleachers during a match, on a track, along which a lot of fans.
And it’s not only the fear of a possible terrorist attack. Even the occasional failure of the device, for example, loss of control, can lead to trouble. Indeed, falling into the crowd from ten meters height, weighing several kilograms, even without grenades on Board, can someone cripple and even kill. And if this thing gets in the parked car and cause a fire or explosion?
as for the investigation, search and detention of criminals – is also understandable. It is unlikely that the investigators will allow the drone if it is not official, observe and record their actions. First, it enshrined in legislation the concept of “official secret” has not been canceled. And, second, the UAV may broadcast information to the criminals and goes hunting.
the Draft document does not imply the mandatory detention of the person using the apparatus. The so-called external pilot delay, if he does not have permits for flights in the area. For example, journalists, say, or professional cameramen can negotiate with the authorities about the shooting.
of Course, will delay the external pilot, if he is in a state of intoxication or does not respond to the legitimate demands of a police officer on the termination of the flight.
to Stop the flight, the police may, using technical means to suppress or convert the remote control signals of an unmanned aircraft, the impact on their control panels. In extreme cases, the device may be damaged or destroyed.
