The source of the interference has not been identified. It may have come from a GPS jammer. Sold as ‘personal privacy devices’ these can be easily obtained on the internet for $30. These are legal to own, but illegal to operate in the U.K.

A one-off drone crash in the U.K. causing no casualties may not seem like a big deal. But some may see it as a sign of things to come.
The crashed survey drone weighed about 25 pounds, enough to seriously injury anyone it hit.

Man, where was this jammer when i had some goon buzzing his drone back and forth outside my home office window yesterday..?
Was trying to ping elastic bands at the props, but no good.

It depends on what they're being used for though. A private drone may have a decent camera that can zoom in, where a commercial drone doesn't want that, and wants to see a wider area. He's right though, in that just because you see it, doesn't mean that it's looking at you or is even remotely interested in you.
