Duo Fined and Charged for Illegal Drone Flights Over Rogers Centre During Blue Jays Playoffs

The Toronto Police have penalized two individuals for operating drones over the Rogers Centre during the Blue Jays’ playoff games. These actions violated Canadian Aviation Regulations.

Illegal Drone Activities Detected

Authorities identified and stopped three unauthorized drone flights during the baseball games last weekend. Specialized drone detection technology helped pinpoint the unlawful activities.

Charges Under Aviation Regulations

The duo faced fines and charges under Canadian Aviation Regulations. They allegedly used “micro-drones” weighing less than 249 grams.

Stadium Within No-Fly Zone

  • The Rogers Centre falls within a no-fly zone.
  • This restriction is due to its proximity to Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport.

The Blue Jays returned home to play in the American League Championship Series after a victory over the New York Yankees. This marks their first appearance in the series since 2016.
