Attacked by 4 French Navy Sailors at Leith Port – And Then the Police Charged Me!

What was supposed to be another atmospheric drone shoot at Edinburgh’s Leith Port turned into one of the most unbelievable encounters I’ve ever heard about. While filming the French Navy destroyer FS Chevalier Paul, Dave Cullen was confronted and physically attacked by four French Navy sailors—simply for flying his drone legally in public airspace. But here’s where it gets truly bizarre: after the altercation, it was DAVE who ended up being charged by Police Scotland. In this video, I break down exactly what happened, show you the photos and data, and discuss the aftermath—including what this means for drone operators, photographers, and anyone passionate about their rights in Scotland.
