Suspected unlicensed drone flight around Tokyo station Beijing Municipal Transportation officer Document inspection July 10 14:00
In principle, a Chinese employee of the Beijing Municipal Transportation Bureau was inspected by the 10th on suspicion of violating the aviation law, saying that he drove an unauthorized drone around JR Tokyo station where flight is prohibited.
The documents were inspected by a Chinese 50s employee of the Beijing Municipal Transportation Bureau.
According to the Metropolitan Police Department, in June of last year, it was suspected that the aviation law was violated because the drone was unlicensed in the vicinity of Tokyo Station, where flight is prohibited in principle, and around the Guest House in Akasaka.
At that time, a riot police officer who was on guard found a staff member who was flying a drone, and in response, the staff member said, "My hobby is taking pictures from the sky. I was shooting with a drone brought from China. Shooting is prohibited. I didn't know it was there."
This staff member has already returned to Japan, but he is working as a researcher at the Beijing Municipal Transportation Bureau and was visiting the subway at that time.
In principle, drone flights are prohibited in densely populated areas and important facilities in the city center, but foreigners who do not know the law are allowed to fly, and the Metropolitan Police Department is calling attention.
