Forbidden to use camera on drones in Sweden

Swedish radio interviewed Mattias Nyström about the recent judgement in the court that interpret that a camera on a drone is the same as a surveillance camera. This means that you need a permission from the county government to use a camera on the drone. This permission is normally only given to prevent crime, so not sure if we can get this permission. Hopefully the law will be updated, but this can take some time. Luckily we have about 600 Gb of photos collected this summer and autumn that we can use meantime.
