Ulster Man Accused of Peeping With Drone [Video]

An Ulster County man was charged with "unlawful surveillance" after flying a drone equipped with a camera outside the windows of the Mid-Hudson Medical Group building where examinations were taking place.  According to WIVB.com, David Beesmer of Lake Katrine was arrested on Tuesday. 

Besmer released a statement on his Facebook page that was obtained by Fox 23 News:

Yesterday I made a huge error in judgement....Everyone that knows me knows I own a drone now.....Monday a new Medical Facility opened in the Town of Ulster close to where I live.....I am so very proud of this facility and that someone has done something positive with the property that has been abandoned for many years.....I took my mom to a doctors appointment there.....and I took my drone up in t...he air to capture some very brief footage to show them.......I took the footage and went straight inside to tell them who I am and that I have some excellent footage.....I was referred by the receptionist to another person who gave me the card to the owners of the building and was told I can contact them...after that while waiting for Mom another person from the facility came up and told me of her concern of privacy....I assured her my camera cannot see inside windows and went out and got the footage to show her......she agreed that you cannot see any people only the building....and told me that the footage looks great and to contact the owners....as they definitely need promotion for this brand new building only two days in use...

I truly realize that I should have asked first but did not think it would be an issue....only to discover that it sure is...

I understand that people inside were alarmed....however as you can see from the footage I posted that there is no way that my camera can see through tinted windows.....I know that but understand that they do not...

The fact that I went straight in and told them certainly makes it obvious that I did not do this for any NEGATIVE reasons.....only to do good!

I asked my Fans, Friends and Family support during this time.....

Who knows where this will end, but one thing is for sure....i made a mistake because of my lack of knowledge..

I will not stop droning....this is the wave of the future...and I WILL be a part of it...”
