To be concerned about drone catching images of my children in paddling pool

[Slightlygiganticpants]

Last night whilst my dc were playing in the garden, (which is completely private and in a rural location, we have about 3 neighbours) a drone flew over several times. The dc were playing in the paddling pool at this time in various states of undress.

My dh got the children in and I went in search of the drone operator. Located him and started filming him with my phone. He was on the other side of the river from my house. He disliked my filming of him and we became engaged in a fairly heated debate with me calling him a pervert and possibly a peadophile. Apparently what he was doing was completely legal (I believe drone was less than 50 meters from us but that is up for debate) and he wasn't filming the dc. He did also phone the police after I left and then came around and spoke to my dh.

I have looked into this since and have found out that this is legal! How? Surely this can't be right? Surely we have a right to privacy in our own garden!

Yay, we've hijacked a thread well done!
I didn't make any distinction between civil and criminal law, I wasn't talking to you and you can't let it drop even though you frankly said you'd stop engaging with me pages ago.
You made a mistake, it's fine, I am being patronising because frankly I find you funny, you are getting more and more wound up about a comment that wasn't a reply to you.

Find any post where I have stated restrictions of speech is criminal law.

You have a funny interpretation of wound up, you have literally no idea how I feel. Anyway no good shall come out of this so enjoy your evening

bye then?
May thou never again get the vague phase "rules /law" mixed up with the perfect legal representation of "under criminal law" and start thy argument on that website. May jargon be your company hereafter.
