…and no one guess why! And I didn’t even do it! The day started so lovely in a quarry with an underwater former prison which is now something like an amusement park run by ex prison guards, very cool! I’m on my way to Riga to meet my new friend from the Internet Aleks in his shop Rascal Motorcycles because he wants to have a look at the bike and guess what…I even get a set of new motorcycle tires (about time) for my Honda Dominator 650. On the way, I’m doing my thing…riding, filming, flying the drone and suddenly I was stopped by the police. I wasn’t speeding I don’t think. The reason is much more unbelievable…would you have guessed it?

Final Cut Pro X
For this Video and for all the videos i do at home, not being out with the bike i use Final Cut since for me it was the easiest to use program with a very intuitive Interface and cool colorgrading options.

Here’s the link to the IOS App:

Using the Iphone allows me to cut all my videos and clips on the road without carrying the laptop which makes everything so much easier and it’s fun with the app;)
More about that and how i do stuff i will probably explain in future videos.

I would have never guessed why! Would you?
What's rattling ? Cam chain again?
00:18 That was prison but not only. That Rummu prison was soviet time also mine where working prisoner.
…….und deine Mutter hatte recht – bestimmt, wie so oft ;-). Weiterhin viel Glück und bleib gesund und sturzfrei………
Hi Marc. I am glad that you featured the legalities of drone flying regarding your contact with local police. It is true that you have to follow I.C.A.O. rules regarding this aspect of aeronautical licensing. Most regular peace officers are truly unaware of legal rights in drone flying. They are more concerned with the privacy rights of citizens. I have various certification for many different interests I am involved in in Canada. Your average citizen and police are not fully educated or informed. It was important that you asserted your rights based on your qualifications. 👍
Great attitude! Well done.
Very nice vid again, its worth to watch taller the end. Enjoy
Mother is always right!😁👍
Today a pigeon was flying over my property.
I called the police.
I didnt think this kinda stuff happened in Europe you guys seem so laid back … more like something that would happen 'Merica.. were im from.. i could definitely see that happening
I have not dron. But flies a lot of.
Nice vídeo man. Enjoying always ur adventures.
Grettings from Spain 😎
Go on and more forward!!!!
Mothers knows best 😉😁
Long trips with a big one cilinder , yes always worn out back tires very quickly, they get probabely to hot from long riding.
Sou seu fã,e achei muito legal sua atitude quanto a abordagem policial!Parabéns pelo canal!
Interesting. Finally everything was nice. Tense till the end. Keep up man.
I think people are paranoid about drones because of… well, Ukraine right now and having some rando flying one near their place is probably a bit triggering, especially in a country bordering Belarus and Russia.
The Baltic states are somehow like a "border area" to the Russian border. So, I understand the concern when you see a drone flying over, considering the situation in Ukraine.
yoou you sed that gass is mor afordable man i am latvian and me personaly thinking gas is insanly expensive normal gas prices use to bee 1.30 euro
I believe you did not understand why they stopped you. And why you were reported. There is nothing to do with your licenses and rights. On July 11 Lithuania closed Russian transport to Kaliningrad and Russia promised to retaliate. So, everybody in the Baltics was cautious….
I am Latvian, and I live in countryside, and my neighbors, probably friends of theirs, flew drone over my property. Didn’t see it, but heard, but what the hell – I didn’t bother. Having just a little bit of fun. Sure, maybe situation on other side of Latvia, closer to Russia, is different due to Russia, but don’t think so. Latvians sometime can be a prick and be overprotective. They won’t tell directly something to you, but through authorities, because many Latvians are just too shy to speak up. That what it is, and there is no cure for that. You did the best thing to respect the police work, and they respect you back.
And thanks for sharing great shots from the birds eye, turns out that we don’t have to travel far far away for great shots.
Hello from Latvia
I am a new follower, I also vlog but not as a travel trip, not a motorcycle but a motor scooter. On holiday (Croatia) or just at home in the Netherlands. I film with 2 Contour tube cameras, DJI Mavic mini and DJI Osmo mobile 3 (Samsung A51). I also have Drone pilot license A1/A3.
Hey marc! Awesome vid haha, Greetings from latvia 🇱🇻!
Mark it will be great to see you back on the Honda again eve is a nice bike but I think the Honda petrol engine is a real motorbike take care my friend stay safe regards Dave in 🇬🇧
People see us (drone pilots) as criminals…it's a shame! Godd video!!!!
2:45 slow day for Latvian police? No drug or people smuggling today?
Lets not forget we are in war times. There have been numerous instances where Russian agents have been flying drones in the Baltics, Sweden and Norway to spy on sensitive infrastructure…
I find the Latvian police are generally polite and efficient, plus when you speak English it throws them a little bit, I also mention I'm Irish which sweetens it a bit more😁👍 OK I need to check out your channel now I just discovered you while browsing. Greetings from Balvi in the Latgale area of Latvia….. Harry
