[The police have warned climate protesters they will face possible life sentences if they fly drones around Heathrow Airport.
Extinction Rebellion last month threatened
to shut down the airport with drones
on Tuesday 18 June, in protest against
a planned expansion.
in a strongly-worded statement issued
on Friday afternoon, Scotland Yard
urged campaigners to reconsider.]

Extinction Rebellion declined to comment.

[Deputy Assistant Metropolitan
Police Commissioner Laurence Taylor
warned the environmental protesters
against doing anything to disrupt
or endanger the UK's most important airport. ]

they could potentially bring an aircraft down, so that does warrant a life sentence. They could murder hundreds of people.

I *could* kill a guy with my kitchen knives tomorrow if I wanted to, I don't exactly see a life prison sentence heading my way today.

If you went into the street with them waving them around at people then you’d be arrested and get a very tough sentence.

Not dissimilar to flying drones on a commercial airliner flight path except that could kill way more people.
