Travels and vacations are the perfect place to take your camera drone for a spin. Think of the awesome footage you'll get! Sadly, a British traveller also got slapped with a huge €200,000 fine – that's around $233,000 / £174,000 / AU$359,000 – for flying his drone in the Spanish Canary Islands without checking the law first.
In fairness, he was asking for trouble. He wasn't just taking sweeping scenery shots of the coast or an innocent bit of footage of him ambling across the landscape; he flew his drone over a popular festival, whereupon it was spotted by police and traced back to the hotel from which he was flying it.
