This footage makes me mad. I can not appreciate his flying skills at all because it is obvious that he was endangering many other people.
This is in Croatia. I do not know when the video was taken but it is today on all web portals. Regarding drones, Croatia is a land of stupid law according to which you have to announce your drone flight to State Geodetic Administration (SGA) 15 days prior to it if you plan to shoot pictures or video during the flight. Not just announce, you have to draw your flying path on a 1:100000 scale map. If they approve it, after the flight you have to send your footage to them and the SGA and Ministry of Defense and then they will "check" the footage and if everything is ok then you wiil receive approval that you can publish footage online. That applies for any purpose of video or picture shooting from the sky.
If you do not abide this stupid law, you can get a fine from 5000-25000 HRK. That is 800-4000 USD. Yes, you cant shoot a video of your family with a drone and publish it on facebook without the fear that someone reports you.
If yu do this with a real airplane (possibly state property), maybe there will be no fine...
Why am I talking about this law while it basically don't have anything to do with this video? Well, it has. He was shooting a video from the sky. But not with a 700 grams drone.
I have to abide the stupid law or face the hefty fine while watching and tolerating this kind of a behaviour from professional pilot, working for the state. Flying over road drivers, endangering state property plane and other people lives.
I hope this moron gets a hefty fine and spend some time in a jail.
