Local cops have no authority over Nav Canada. For all we know, NC is ****** at cops continually doing wtf they want and they will use this as an example and throw the book at the pilot(s) involved to encourage forces to comply in the future. Not sure if they have any authority over the employer or just the pilots. It would be funny if NC suspended the commercial licenses of all YRP pilots for a period (or cancelled them and made them retake the tests to ensure they understood what restricted airspace means). Class E is restricted from ground level up for drones.More like paid suspension and the rest of this swepped under the rug... never to be heard of again.
Will it? I'm not experienced in plane ownership, but it seems like this is something you'd get a lawyer for right away, and it's pretty clear who the parties are and what happened. I would figure that the police would be amenable to a quick settlement. Though the plane owner was speaking to the press...Somehow this is going to turn into an insurance headache for the plane owner.
One can only hope!!! It boggles my mind how even after all of the hoops and tests and background checks Police have to jump through to get through the hiring process and secure a job we still find ourselves reading these types of stories and police fraud cases time after time. I have talked to other people in the drone hobby space and have heard about all of the rules and regulations and you would THINK that a person smart enough to be an officer would know that an airport of all places should be the #1 no fly zone and this still happens.Local cops have no authority over Nav Canada.

The propeller hit the drone. Normally that means complete disassembly of engine to inspect everything.Was it just the angle or did that hit look dangerously close to the propeller?

Yup. Probably 20 to 40K assuming they dont find too many issues.That's expensive.
Give the poor soul a break after all they were just following orders....JS.Except, obviously, someone who thought the law didn't apply to them.
And as a law-abiding employee, their response should have been to notify the person giving the orders that prior approval is required.Give the poor soul a break after all they were just following orders....JS.

If a superior ordered the officer to disobey the law and endanger lives, hopefully Nav Canada can include them in the charges.The road to promotion is marked by "Yes Sir" signs but I guess it proves the joke wrong.
