Ban people from flying drones over police stations and private properties

Closed 388 signatures

What the petition asks

Create a specific law to ban people from flying drones over police stations and private properties. We think this causes a breach of the peace to law abiding citizens and police officers.
We think that the ever growing demand for drone “pilots” to harass people in order to create click bait and invade people’s privacy is getting out of control. The power currently lies within the hands of people controlling these drones from a public footpath despite the drone going into other people’s space. We feel that this is a growing nuisance and is concerning for members of the police when drones fly over police stations and custody blocks.
