Flying a toy quad, with a camera = Nuclear Bomb? No, it ain't rocket science.
RC hobby is mad fun. Planes, trains, automobiles, quads & drones. Like a 3d puzzle with some electronics thrown in.
You can start very small. Try some FPV, one time... you'll love it. Or not? but you'll understand.

There are protections for CT designated sites against unauthorised photography etc
Then the bully cop was lying about the CT status of that building, because it is NOT a protected zone. Not for toy quads.
If it should be, then the ignoramus needs to register it as such, and get approval. Nothing like that has happened.
Pilot was flying 100% legally.

it is a secure area
Where did you get that idea? It absolutely is not. No restricted air space for the quad in question, whatsoever.
The pilot was being very friendly. Probably best for all, no need to let such misinformed bullies waste his time, or illegally steal / damage his quad.
They had no right to demand his details. They requested, he declined, which is his right. lol... the plainclothes bully that claims to be a sergeant didn't identify himself. Never saw any badge. Could have just been a janitor for all we know.

How are the police officers meant to know if it’s a sub 250g drone without seeing it tho?
No, completely opposite. How are they going to walk up DEMANDING and giving orders, without any evidence, let alone proof of anything.
They have zero clue about the laws for such things, which is abundantly clear. Just trying to be bullies.
The innocent pilot was more than friendly about the whole thing, and you can see the "sergeant" lay off his tough act once he realizes he has zero clue.
The pilot, once informing them of facts and the law, would be perfectly in his rights to fly right back over, as would anybody else. Some day the asshat "sergeant" is going to go in front of a judge with this crap, and get slapped down.

It only works with DJI quads with GPS. Without GPS they'd have have no way of knowing or enforcing any such lame nonsense. Also, the company could update their "no fly" map with totally false data. hmm.
I'd trust a well-known, trusted app with massive government cooperation, that is regularly updated, far more than a singular company's iffy no-fly map.
I any case, the innocent pilot was 100% legally flying over that building.

I'm sorry bro but you are not even a casual observer, let alone expert.
The app discussed has massive government cooperation. If any restricted space was over the OP video, it would be there. And if it SHOULD be restricted space, but isn't because the people in charge of the facility are so clueless, then that's a much bigger problem than anyone legally flying a toy quad over their building.
Neither you, nor the bully sergeant harassing that innocent pilot, have any clue what you're talking about. Sorry to be harsh, but none of you have a leg to stand on.
The coppers could have stolen his quad (not confiscated). Wasted their and his time. Once a judge saw the case it would be thrown out immediately. The quad returned (or if destroyed, damages paid).
Unfortunately, that comes out of YOUR taxes. It should be paid by the offending asshat that was bullying the pilot.

The whole "counter-terrorism thing" is most likely a lie.
If any such thing was true, it would be restricted air space. It is not.

in a space it is not supposed to be
Totally irrelevant, as it is not the case in the OP video.
Useless hypothetical that adds nothing to the discussion.
