Let's say that hypothetically someone flew an fpv drone right up to your bedroom door, which is accessible from outside the building, during the middle of the night at 11pm.

What do?

It’s UK, I have no idea what the laws are tbh.

here are the rules

Looks like below 250g is fine, above 500g is "not within 50m of people this includes up to max height ceiling" ie anything above that size isn't allowed anywhere near towns/cities. Can't really find anything suggesting tracking though.

every drone operator of drones under 250g with a camera or any over 250g needs to be registered with an operator id that needs to be displayed on the drone
you can search the id here

from here

of course being the uk, what is a toy is loosely defined and fuck knows what the enforcement of these rules are like lol
