When defending such cases, arguments can be made from the following legal and artistic perspectives, but it must be noted that any defense strategy must strictly follow the facts and legal basis, and cannot distort or mislead the court. The following are possible defense ideas, for reference only： --- ### 1. **Protection of artistic expression and freedom of expression** -**Legal basis**: The constitutions or laws of many countries protect freedom of artistic expression (such as the First Amendment of the United States and the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union). It can be argued that the use of drones is an experimental form of new media art, designed to explore the interaction of public space, technology and interpersonal relationships, and is a protected expression behavior. -**Case reference**: Cite the jurisprudence of similar art projects (such as artists creating public installation art or critical works through drones) to illustrate that art forms may contain unconventional means. ### 2. **Clarification of subjective intent** -**No intention to invade privacy**: Emphasize that the parties have no subjective intention to spy on the privacy of others, but for the purpose of artistic creation. Evidence (such as creative sketches, past works, artistic statements, etc.) is required to prove that his behavior is related to artistic practice. -**Technical restrictions**: If the drone is not equipped with high-precision camera equipment or is not shooting for a specific individual, it can be claimed that it does not have the ability to actually invade privacy. ### 3. **Rational use of public space** -**Public argument**: In public places, personal privacy expectations are low (there is a legal definition of ”reasonable privacy expectations"). If the shooting content is a public scene, no close-ups or sensitive information, it can be argued that it is not beyond a reasonable range. -**The social value of art**: It is advocated that works have the value of public discussion (such as reflection on the monitoring society) and are in the interests of society. ### 4. **Dispute over the legality of the procedure** -**Law enforcement defects**: If there are defects in the arrest procedure (such as no search warrant or incomplete evidence chain), the legality of the evidence can be questioned. -**Legal ambiguity**: The legal provisions of some countries on drone shooting are not clear, and it can be argued that the actions of the parties concerned are in a gray area of the law and lack the premise of knowingly committing a crime. ### 5. **Negotiation and alternatives** -**Plea negotiation**: If the evidence is conclusive, you can seek to replace the privacy violation charge with a minor offense (such as violating drone management regulations). -**Social services or education**: It is proposed to replace punishment by participating in public art projects or privacy protection publicity, reflecting an attitude of repentance. --- ### Precautions： -**Evidence as the core**: Sufficient evidence (such as artistic creation records, expert testimony) is required to support the claim of “artistic purpose”, otherwise it may be regarded as an excuse. -**Legal differences**: Different countries have different definitions of privacy and art (for example, the EU's GDPR is stricter on privacy protection), and strategies need to be adjusted in accordance with local laws. - **Ethical balance**: Even if artistic freedom is protected, the privacy rights of others still need to be respected. Rationalization of all shooting behaviors should be avoided when defending. --- In the end, such defenses need to be carried out under the guidance of professional lawyers, weighing the legal, ethical and interests of the parties, rather than encouraging the abuse of the name of art to engage in illegal acts.
