This is gross incompetence (in either case: the drone existing or not), multiple people here should be stepping down or be fired. What an embarrassment to Gatwick, to Sussex, and to the UK.
Prediction: no one will be fired.
- jaclaz 8y agoFrom what I can gather, reading this and the linked to article: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/gatwick-drone-boss-man-arrested-13771951 https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/gatwick-drone-boss-man... The arrested guy once possessed a drone (that he sold a few months ago). He and his wife were arrested (and their house raided) seemingly only based on a tip-off: >Mr Tingley said the arrests made on Friday night were as a result of a tip-off from a member of the public. >"I'm completely satisfied the arrests were lawful, bearing in mind the burden of proof and likely suspicion at the time of arrest," he said. It seems to me a lot like a case of (possibly mass-hysteria originated) UK "swatting" (hopefully without an actual SWAT team breaking in).
