Drones are proving to be problematic worldwide.
In Cape Town, a photographer is under investigation after the picture he took of the #AmINext protests using a drone caught the attention of aviation authorities.
Abroad, two Australian influencers have been in Evin prison in Tehran after they were caught flying a drone without a license.
According to PEOPLE, Jolie King and Mark Firkin reportedly uploaded over 60 videos, which were taken at secluded sites considered “highly suspicious” in Iran.
Perhaps they should have stuck to some of the other, more tourist-friendly sights they’ve visited:
King has also shared vivid memories from her many trips to her Instagram account, which include shots of her snorkelling in the deep blue waters of Bali, sightseeing in India and most recently horseback riding in Kyrgyzstan.
Her last post was uploaded on June 26.
When the couple disappeared from Instagram for a few weeks, their followers (more than 21 000 on their account, The Way Overland, at the time of writing) became worried.
“I hope you guys are okay,” one follower wrote.
“GUYS WHERE ARE YOU ITS BEEN A MONTH — R U OKAY???” a different follower wrote on their joint account.
News of their arrest was made public on Wednesday.
The families of the couple have since released a statement via The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs saying, “Our families hope to see Mark and Jolie safely home as soon as possible,” ABC Australia reported.
At this stage it is unknown whether the case will go to trial or what charges have been levied against the couple.
I’ll leave you with the last video that they posted on their YouTube channel:
