    As you might know, I really love photographing.
    Instagram here.
    YouTube here.

    You might not be so inset in this like I am, but if you read this, I'm sure you agree that the government overreacted.

    Friday, 21st October writed the Swedish government under a new law about Drones.
    (Small unhumaned remotecontroled vehicles with cameras)

    "Compliantly illegal"
    The only exception is if it is to stop criticism.

    "There are already really strict rules about drones and how to use them, this is a overreaction"

    They didn't just make them illegal, they killed many peoples job and even more hobbies, like me. Many news reports use drones to record and post pictures, it's an easy way to get incredible good pictures and overview of the news.
    Now is it way much harder for me to do that I like to do, harder to earn money and get a nice little job.

    I don't understand their arguments, you are allowed to take pictures and record videos on official places, but that's illegal if the camera is flying, what's next? Make the selfiestick illegal?

    You are allowed to stand on a roof and take a picture out over a city, but it's illegal to do that with a drone.

    They also compare it with cameras in cars or on bikes. "A camera on a drone is a surveillance camera, while a camera in a car or on a bike isn't."

    - Excuse me, I don't get it,what is it then? What's the different?

    "Oh actually it's more like a surveillance camera in a car than on a drone" #Realidiots

    I can understand that people can be afraid, but most people are interested and enjoy to see it. I have actually tried to look trough a window with a drone, there is no way you can see anybody, if he/she ain't just into the window. Plus, Sweden are the only country in the world who have drones completely illegal.

    Shame on you Sweden. I'm pretty sure that the government are getting bombed with mails from angry photographers, like me.

    Thanks for reading.

    In my country, you can fly drones anywhere you want. Although I rarely use my drone (don't have many places for flying or using it), I think it's perfectly fine to ban drones in certain locations (government buildings, dangerous places). BUT banning them entirely is ****ing awful. I think the issue might have to deal with the amount of technophobes in Sweden, but don't quote me on that.

    I think they are fine, especaily if people are planning on taking photos and videos. A lot of large youtubers use them regularly.

    Please do

    You put these things in qoutes without saying who said this. The things said in those qoutes are clearly opinions and not facts. You undermine your argument by doing this bs.

    We understand youe opinion, but you are trying to brainwash us into yours without even telling us anything about the actual thing.

    Shame on sweden, but not for this. No, shame on them for slowly turning their labor into wage slaves. I would honestly just throw your mail away if you sent me this ****.

    There is one difference between drones and all the other **** you have told us about. You are anonymous when using a drone.

    Do i support the law? No i do not. But there is arguments to be made for it

    Why I didn't set any names?
    That's actually a good question XD I totally missed it, just looked it up and found that they are anonymous.

    I didn't lay down much time on this tread.

    Okey okey, it seems like you are a bit mad? Why swearing so much?
    For me, do your text sound negative. I see no point with posting those "hate" comments.

    Swearing and giving a bad energy pointed to one person do I take like hate.

    I mostly lost my job, they took my hobby, don't you understand how this is? You might never have lose a job, maybe not even had one. But it hurts so.
    Think if they ban something you really, really like to do, how should you feel then?
    However...
    The law is a recognized law from the 70s.

    Sorry for my terrible English, I'll blame that on "I was tired"
    Have a nice day!

    Is it a coincidence that my Dad won a free drone yesterday? Anyways, that is a stupid, stupid law. But hey, at least it's just drones people are worried about watching them.

    Pretty much wrong... XD
    I'm one of more than 2000 licensed pilots in Sweden.
    The only way to fly legal is if it's to stop crime.

    I'm pretty positive the government wouldn't be to enthusiastic about people flying drones around government security agencies.

    In my country, I think it’s allowed to use drones for good purposes. Some farmers pay some professional licensed people to take some photos of their area, etc using drones. It saves times and is less costly compared to doing it manually. But I think if some people misuse drones for something not right even tho they are licensed, there is a chance that new rules would be implemented. I believe that they should be legal as long as they do not invade the privacy of others. I agree that people are not allowed to fly drones at restricted areas such as military base because it’s about national security. We all want to have a safe country don’t we? :wink:

    First, they're trying to control their citizen's bank accounts, now they're trying to control their citizen's flying toys.
