London's eye: Incredible footage captured after drone user broke all the rules

Should the cameraman have done it?

SEE PICADILLY CIRCUS, TRAFALGAR Square and Buckingham Palace like you’ve never seen them before.

A drone user seemingly broke every rule in the book to capture these great shots of London city, with another YouTube user uploading the video yesterday.

However, not everyone is happy with the output. Many drone users have accused the flyer of giving them a bad name by flouting the rules so blatantly, according to an article in the Evening Standard.

Filmmakers have been prosecuted in the UK for offences under the Air Navigation Order 2009.

Was it worth the risk?
