nice and wordy reply but just admit it you are wrong
the CAA have prosecuted a couple of people so far and the following is a quote from the police
Chief Inspector Nick Aldworth, from the Met’s Specialist Operations Command, and lead officer on the misuse of drones, said the public should be aware of the regulations surrounding drone use.
“As drones become more widely available, it’s important that anyone using this type of small aircraft understands that there are strict regulations on how and where they can be flown and that police, in partnership with the CAA, will look to prosecute anyone who does not follow these rules.
there is more info on restrictions on drones here and the legal situation regarding filming people and the data protection act

Drones are not and have never been toys other than the very small indoor ones.
Model aircraft have been flown for many years safely under the control of the BMFA unfortunately the vast majority of the drones are flown with no regard or knowledge of the law or of safe operation of their craft.
The status quo will not continue if there are more incidents.
