Looks like a DJI phantom crashed by a photographer in MRC nagar.
Chennai flyers be careful of cops.

Police initially thought it could have been flown by student as many from engineering colleges experiment with drones. But investigations revealed it belonged to Raj.
“We checked the make of the drone and called up the manufacturer and to identify the owner.
He was arrested as UAV cannot be flown without clearance from DGCA and city police,“ said a police officer.
Seems TN police had called up to DJI innovations in China, and Identified an Indian owner of their product
I wonder whether they spoke in Chinese
However, Indian RC community is in Big trouble

Re: Idiot Photographer
Yes i agree with you sundaram most of these incident take pace due to lack of knowledge of these photographers who think a multirotor is just a joke , they dont do range check even dont let the copter set its home position,dont do compass calibration ...they just set it up and fly ... which even end up in fly-aways !!!

Re: Idiot Photographer
Same feel here satish kumar... stupidity results in set back for hobby enthusiast. What is the procedure for getting a NOC from DGCA and local cops will be like what is a quadcopter if i ask them for flying them. Am sure they will target some money out of me if i go for a NOC from local cops

Re: Idiot Photographer
How was it possible to identify the owner? And i suppose it was a DJI Phantom so they were able to track down him.. what about custom made one? Is it possible to track down the owner? and how? will the quad have any source of clue to track down the owner?

Re: Idiot Photographer
Mahesh, See Reply 2 ,,,
Do you think the police did so ?
The police is boasting of their efficiency man, do you think you can Identify the owner by calling the Manufacturer ? I don't know of any RC Manufacturer who keeps record and Track of their customers and equipments .

Re: Idiot Photographer
They actually contacted the british company through the serial no and they revealed the dealer contact info and the dealer revealed the person who bought the product. all happened within a matter of hours, (as per translation from tamil thehindu)
cops are capable of doing much more, its just that they never did it before, doesnt mean that they cannot do it again.
unlike spares, company like dji keep record of customers who buys complete products.(seems like its safer to fly scratch built ones, lol)
fly in large open space so that you no one can be in reach within atleast 1km radius and you will be in no trouble.

Re: Idiot Photographer
Since ages it was always of at-most importance that people pursuing this hobby were required to behave responsibly. Even while flying within line of sight under 400 ft, maintaining safety of air traffic, life and property around you was always your primary responsibility you were never absolved of this responsibility. Maintaining peace and calm and ensuring your hobby activity is not infringing on peace and privacy of persons around you was also expected to be your primary concern. You were always under threat of getting sued/hauled up for violating any of the above. You were always expected to make good or pay up compensation for the damage caused by you. you were always expected to fly with permission of the authorities under whom the flying field falls or choose an appropriate flying field without infringing on others space.
Now just because you are not restricted by Line of sight or the limits of a flying field due to the development of technology you cannot now go about creating nuisance to others. Its even more important now to abide by the above aspects. Cost of pursuing this hobby has definitely come down but the risks of pursuing this hobby and responsibilities involved with it is never going to come down but its going to increase for sure because of more proliferation and awareness.
Even with whatever regulation whenever it is going to be issued, even when issued still even if you are flying with DGCA clearance, If you are a cause for threat to another's life or you infringe on privacy of another you will be hauled up/ arrested for sure. If you cause damage to others life or property be ready to pay-up for the compensation.
Just because you can you are not always allowed. Its not a child's play.
I am sure this has been posted before too

Re: Idiot Photographer
This was just in d news today,(for the second day) all this trouble cos some guy tried flew his dji phantom, over a 10story building(seems it was a sunbathing spot for tourists), ND his phantom went out of range , ND feel on a foreigner who was sunbathing, the police ND media have gone crazy with this story , they claim its a risk for planes, ND public , also seems the police have sought details of buyers from a mumbai-based company., thankfully they gave 3 positive uses for the so called drones after criticizing them for half a page .

Guys doing it commercially with adequate legitimate permission and without causing any nuisance are also facing similar problems else where in this world in these times of change and you expect you will be spared if found trying to photograph some sunbathers. Our guy here deserved to be sued and penalized.

Re: Idiot Photographer
As if one DJI was not enough to screw our happiness who is giving these guys permission to churn out endless series of supposedly dangerous life threatening models one after another and sell it to just about any
IDIOT PHOTOGRAPHER
who is ready to buy it.

Re: Idiot Photographer
People get fascinated by seeing all those DJI videos and think that they too could make them.
Why dont DJI put these flyaway issues too in their site. If it werent these RTF quad makers, many people wouldnt have ventured into this money making business and many will still think this as a daunting task and would have stayed away and our hobby would have been saved.
these guys try to make money and spoil our hobby and switch to new money making things and move on. and its our hobby which become ruined for years and takes lot of hard work to repair it. im sure time will heal this stain on our hobby or might make it worse.

It is not the manufacturers to be blamed. If a crime was committed using an ordinary kitchen knife, would you want to stop manufacture of all kind of knife.

Re: Idiot Photographer
Agreed Captain
. Idiot Photographers are the ones who are required to be sued.
The kitchen Knife is manufactured solely for household purpose which may be misused by the criminal minds but these so called drones are manufactured exactly for the same purpose its being used for by everyone. while the fact of the matter remains that none of them qualify in-terms of endurance, range or capability for being called a Drone. But these have become the center stage of the entire worlds media campaign, attention and threat perceptions. Then why not stop their proliferation.
While the party or persons with actual gear with capabilities to qualify for a Drone are still quietly continuing with their work in some case actually violating privacy and in some causing damage to life and property with full freedom of deniability associated with it.
