Foreigners are allowed to shoot from drones – Västerbottens-kuriren (the Courier)

Citizens of other EU countries may have the right to film and photograph from the drones in the context where the prohibition is for the swedes, reports the News on TV4.

When the Supreme administrative court last week ruled that kameraövervakningslagen applies to the use of drones, was the criticism harsh from the many Swedish photographers.

— Kameraövervakningslagen applies only to cameras that are posted in Sweden, if the operator of the monitoring system is established in Sweden or a country outside the EU. Otherwise, not the law, ” says Nicklas Hjertonsson, head of unit at the Swedish data Inspection board, to TV4.

There is an EU directive that is the basis for national laws in each EU country. However, member states interpret the directive in different ways, and Sweden now have stricter rules about just drones than many other countries.
