Drones flying over private property
Recently some young people from a nearby house got a drone and proceeded to fly it over neighbouring properties. When spoken to , they were clearly quite ignorant about the various rules and regulations surrounding drone operation. ie flying over private property without permission is not allowed. Sadly they seemed to think these rules did not apply to them and they could fly wherever. I have spoken to all involved ( including a parent) and hopefully that is the end of the matter. Drone use is increasing and I make this posting to alert people to be aware of their rights and responsibilities as am quite sure this issue will present itself again in the future ( and may have done so already). There is plenty of useful information on line. I suggest the following as a start www.airshare.co.nz...
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
