As visitors at Disney's Magic Kingdom stood in the theme park counting down to 2015, they likely had no idea a consumer drone was secretly hovering above them, capturing unauthorized aerial video of the New Year's Eve fireworks display.

Footage of that pyrotechnics show, including flaming embers zooming past the unmanned aircraft, was posted on YouTube by a user with the screen name "YOUR FLYING CAMERA" who claimed to be a 16-year-old vacationing from Canada.

This kid has made a name for himself in the last month or so with his videos. While good, they are dangerous and a good way to get banned from Disney property.

And he's Canadian. At some point, the FAA is going to go after someone to make a point as will Disney, more than likely.

Not a good way for him to potentially lose entry to the US, and those Fed Judges don't mess around. Plus they have these mandatory sentence things.

It's not like the plea down, get out of jail free fest state and local can be sometimes.....
