An Israeli tourist who was arrested in front of the Notre Dame Cathedral while flying a drone above some of Paris’s main attractions, was slapped with a €400 fine, after spending the night in jail.
The 24-year-old tourist had launched the drone, equipped with a Go-Pro camera, above the famous Gothic church, and sent it hovering over the historic Hotel Dieu hospital and a police station, a police source said.
The Israeli said he had simply wished to film all Parisian monuments “exclusively for private purposes,” said the police source.
After spending the night in jail he was issued the stiff fine for “operating an aircraft non-compliant with safety laws”, said a judicial source.
