To take pictures of gardens from the air is not to be regarded as CCTV. It struck the Administrative Court in Malmö approved a new judgment today.
According to the verdict counts drone camera as a “senior” camera.
In January this year banned a photographer in Skåne to photographing gardens from the air with a drone for various garden reportage. There pursuant to a decision of the County Administrative Board of Skåne.
According to the Decision lists the drone camera as a “senior” camera capable of targeting a place which the public has access. Thus it falls under camera surveillance law.
– The County Board has not kept pace with technology and has an archaic interpretation of the law. My purpose is not to monitor someone without documenting natural scenes. Additionally, the camera is not permanently displayed and left alone, but is governed by myself all the time, said the photographer Staffan Christensen, who runs the company Market Ting Gånarp with his wife, in an interview with New Technology.
He appealed to the Administrative Court in Malmö, which is now entitled him. In the new judgment writes Förvaltningsrätten the camera is not considered to be “permanently tacked” and thus falls not under camera surveillance law.
– It does not mean that it is free for shooting drones, says chefsrådmannen Ulrika Geijer. Partly require other types of permits for the use of drones, and may, for example, crimes molestation or sexual molestation become relevant if the shoot is such a purpose.
