Police will be given stop and search powers around airports and prisons in new drone legislation going through Parliament, the Government has announced.
Officers will be able to land, inspect and seize drones if an offence has been committed and a warrant is obtained, the Department for Transport said.
The Air Traffic Management and Unmanned Aircraft Bill will amend the Police Act 1997 to allow the police and senior prison authorities to authorise the use of counter-drone measures to combat illegal drone use.
On the spot fines will be introduced for certain offences such as flying drones too high or close to buildings without permission, or failing to complete the online registration or safety test.
Since November 2019, it has been mandatory for operators of small unmanned aircraft to register themselves and take an online competency test.
Transport Minister Baroness Vere said: “Most people using drones want to do so responsibly, and we encourage them to familiarise themselves wit..
Delivery drones can save people’s lives
Is it a bird … is it a plane? No, it’s a drone carrying life-saving medical supplies.
If they had ever heard of it, villagers in Rwanda might have mused over this line, borrowed from a musical composed by Charles Strouse, when the first drone delivery system in the world was launched in 2016 to make on-demand emergency blood deliveries to transfusion clinics across their country.
Fast forward three years and Keenan Wyrobek, founder of the California-based automated logistics company, Zipline, that operates the service, will be one of the speakers at the Design Indaba Conference later this month in Cape Town. It will run from February 27 to March 1.
Wyrobek will speak about how the company used design-thinking to enhance the lives of others and, in his case, save lives.
Since its inception, the service has flown 4 000 flights, covered 300 000km and delivered 7 000 units of blood.
Their mission – bringing life-saving medicine to the most-difficult-to-reach places in the world.

How Trump’s border wall could embrace drones, cameras and AI
US agents patrol the border between Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, and Santa Teresa, New Mexico.
Since 2015, President Donald Trump has promised to build a “big, beautiful wall” along the 1,950-mile US border with Mexico: a 20- to 30-foot high concrete wall/steel fence he says will stem illegal immigration, keep out illicit drugs and stop terrorists from entering the country.
Critics say a physical barrier is unnecessary and ineffective, and they argue that modern tech could do the job instead at a lower cost. Which is how we got to the recent 35-day shutdown, the longest in US government history. Trump insists on Congress budgeting $5.7 billion for a wall, while Democrats push for high-tech border protections.
“The positive, shall we say, almost technological wall that can be built is what we should be doing,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said during a press conference in January. She's proposed spending “hundreds of millions of dollars” for tech to scan for drugs and weapons and detect p..
