However, concerns regarding informational privacy do not diminish with size of the drone where it has the capability to record information.Regulators and drone designers need to consider ways to make it possible for people to understand what a drone is doing, whether it is being flown legitimately, and the person flying can be identified.Danish Ministry of Transport, University of Southern Denmark, and Aalborg University  ?  ‘'ĞŶĞƌĂůWƵďůŝĐ ?ƐWƌŝǀĂĐǇŽŶĐĞƌŶƐZĞŐĂƌĚŝŶŐƌŽŶĞhƐĞŝŶZĞƐŝĚĞŶƚŝĂůĂŶĚWƵďůŝĐƌĞĂƐ ? ? ?DĂǇ ? ? ? ? ? ?-  ‘WƵďůŝĐƌĞĂĐƚŝŽŶƐƚŽĚƌŽŶĞƵƐĞŝŶƌĞƐŝĚĞŶƚŝĂůĂŶĚƉƵďůŝĐĂƌĞĂƐ ? ? ?ĞĐĞŵďĞƌ ? ? ? ? ? ?Robert Knowles ŷ Fined £800 and £3500 costs ŷ 1st April 2014Cascade NewsProsecutions2014  ?Mark Spencer  ?CAA prosecution.
