    Drone flying in Spain

    Confusing drone laws in Germany

    Very confusing. I live in the same EU but different country (Finland) and here it is totally ok if random people get accidentally filmed at all open-access places as streets, parks, in trains etc. No permission is needed. Just like taking a normal photos at tourist attractions, it is...
