i'm soooooo upset that I just saw this when I came back from police station.

Today I just use DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ in marina beach, then the police man take me to police station and take my aircraft without give me any receipt, they said this is banned in all india, is that true? if it's banned, why they still selling in amazon india and also so many local market?

hello @FrankSu
welcome to forum..
avoid quads and airplane to fly at public places coz this may harm any one... and don't know why this happens to you . yesterday  
i was flying my quad in ground (near my home) two police man came and ask me about my quad like from where you bought this ? how far it can go ? how much weight it can handle? etc etc... but they didn't did anything... they saw me flying for few mints and leave... i don't know y there is so much restriction in this hobby...
regards  

thanks my friend, but now I loss my aircraft, maybe because I'm foreigner, is there any regulation announce in chennai?

don't have any knowledge about that but only thing i know is DGCA banned all these things...
there are many members from chennai.. i think they can help you with that question.
regards

ok, thank you so much.

First of all flying on a beach is illegal as your putting other ppl on the beach at danger! However professional you may be at flying the police is not going to consider that..if you did intend to fly on a beach you should have asked the police for permission. Drones are considered illegal at public places like monuments, beaches,etc...to avoid such problem fly at local ground early in the morning or at noon(when ppl are less)...
By reading this please don't feel that i am against you! Thank you!

ok, I got it, so they will take my aircraft and not give back to me anymore?

Try taking to them...did your plane have a cam?

if it din't you could tell them that you weren't aware of the rules and you were just flying. If it did ask them that you could delete the footage in front of them and release the drone by paying them money(they are greedy ppl )

hahahaha  good idea by @Himadri Roy ..
try bribe...

@himadri roy,
@gunnu,
Maybe as a nation, we are all corrupt,
But do we have to broadcast it to foreigners?

What are you guys advising?
To pay bribe?
Hope you know the consequences of such advice documented on a public forum.

@admin
Request you to take a stand on this.

Money does work if the policeman is not honest(most of them aren't )even my friend got his plane quad away and he got it released by paying 1000rs...

+1 K K Iyer

sorry @iyer sir (out of topic) last week i was caught by a cop in chandigarh.. (i had my all documents complete.) he said you have to pay 1500 fine coz you are in wrong lane.. i was in slow lane... i said i m right... he said i m gona charge you 1500.. or gime some money and ill let you go.. so he takes 100 rs and let me go....

regards

I din't mean to defame our nation but if through this forum any higher official comes to know about my advice he's welcomed. Let him too know how corruption has come in this system...

Thanks to your friend for setting an EXCELLENT example  

"DJI" is the brand who killed this innocent hobby within few months.

I suppose some of the above correspondents, when they reach voting age, will accept money from all political parties, and then vote for the one that gave them the most (and claim that as a demonstration of their honesty)!

Please note i have not mentioned any names.

Edit: no more comments from me on this issue.

@Dharmik sir: i wouldn't  agree with this its the people who have been using the product carelessly(don't mean to point fingers at anyone)are at fault not the company. The products are reliable but misuse is causing bad names to the company! When a watch is made the company intends the people to use it for time keeping but its not their(company's) problem if someone uses it for making bomb timer!

@Iyer Sir: My friend did whatever he though it was right at that time(think yourself in his place. You surrounded by policemen asking you to come to police station(and not ready to hear a word from you) or pay up to avoid it plus who likes going to police station? )

Though not related with hobby, but still Why you people don't store the police head quarter number in your cellphone for street problems!!!
Always an state level police service officer (Sometimes IPS too) present there to help you.
Please use that. That is an Landline number and always ready to serve the NATION.
Even if you have no traffic head quarter number, just call police head quarter no.
They will transfer you to traffic headquarter no. in case of road problem.
Just ask in phone with salutation like, Sir, @#$%^ asking for the. I can give &^%$#  but I need refund as without bill. Please discuss directly with amount, and then give the cellphone to the pirated COP. I can assure that u will definitely help your nation as well as you will  be free as quick as desire as you are calling with your cellphone, and call be forwarded from HQ to traffic guard.
Afterwards please send the officer an thanks letter of appreciation if you happy with the service only.

I got help even at 11.30 night. In West Bengal, Kolkata Police Head Quater number is =>  +91 33 2214 5000

Looks like Our friend Frank Su is arrested for this matter

I said it before, say it again, half knowledge is very dangerous, these guys having no idea of whats heads and whats tails are lured by their empty minds to label flying as a threat to the country. Who in his right mind would spy on someone with 4x propellers buzzing like the sun don't shine...they are seriously misinformed by the early 90's minds.

the DGCA and the WPC are very ill informed lot of this country. the officials of both this organization are completely unaware of where the world is going....

if we Indians can really make world class UAV's i think the "MAKE IN INDIA" factor will be put to the real use... only if this DGCA AND WPC also start changing with their attitudes and mentality

Now we all have to que up at some govt. dept to get our self tested for flying skills?? 
(Just joking not know what certification meant)
