Although this day started out like any other day, it took a turn for the worst quick. I had no clue what was going to happen and honestly, this was one of the scariest situations I've been in a long time.
You can learn a lot from situations like this and that's why I want to share with you WHAT NOT TO DO IN TURKEY.
I love Turkey for more than just being an affordable travel destination. There is also so much rich culture to experience, but make sure you know what you can and can't do before visiting.

☀️G E T T O K N O W ME
Hi,
I am Jimmy, I left my career in the military to become a full-time traveler, documenting my memories along the way. Kicked off traveling in September 2017 with $4000 in my savings account and first started publishing my journey. Traveling and being able to work wherever I love ( as long as there are Wi-Fi and coffee)
Thriller music intensifies as two officers talk about the weather.
A bomb exploded in the area where you were shooting in that area before. It is forbidden to fly drones in crowded and touristic areas for national security. The soldiers treated you very well. Turkish soldiers are very kind, smiling and the best soldiers in the world. It would be much worse if you were in another country. Turkish soldiers are very good. It should not see any danger in terms of security. Turkey is a beautiful country, we recommend it to everyone. Safety is important to all of us.
As a Turkish even i had an experience very similar to you. I was studying architecture and needed to take pictures of Taksim Square to draw sketches on it, 2 mins later cops came and deleted all the pictures from my phone, checked my id card and took a picture of it and warned me gently. I understand them very well and i support what they do. It’s all for our safe…
Dude, its so okey 😊 As a Turk, I have recorded many times military areas, accidently. We cant see soldiers but they always see us. Its just about security for terrorist attacks. They take you, check your records and if you have any record that showing military base, they will just delete that ones and release you with no problem. In thriller music scene, soldier was talking about wheater, it was funny 😁 they also used to these situations. Please dont offend 😊 have fun.
I had no idea hahaha
The military personnel was very gentle to you actually. If you fly over a compound in US, you can be shot or teased by a gun.
Yeah in the US the cops first shoot you and then put a handcuffs on you
true as hell
@Po Wasjington dude, how do you know that? 😅
I noticed that when the Turkish police talk to me they seemed just like any other Turk only they were working as police. American police seem like Robo-Cops or Terminators or something.
Hahaha u r right! 🤣
Dont worry bro . Turkish Police are not like American police 😀 … we dont shoot any one 😀 , if you see a police just say hi , they help you .
@Divert Living the guy is right , they talking too you very gently! If u make this thing in pentagon they can shout down to you 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
hahahaha good
I‘m Albanian. I have been more than 9 times in Istanbul and believe me , there‘s nothing better than this country and its people. I have visited more than 61 countries in the world but no one can be compared with Turkey (surely in my opinion).
Greetings and be safe! ✌🏻❤️

@Колобас Балабас lol the thing you talk about isnt called “european civilization” and the city and the whole of our lands are ours. You can go cry on your bed thinking of whatever fetish you want but it aint real and it never will be.
@Колобас Балабас these Turkish women are not in basement though https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mld_Z-1QOxQ&t=42s
@Колобас Балабас maybe u just didn’t approach them in the right way or talk to them nicely.
That’s cool you were able to visit so many places. Congratulations! 🎉
Try that recording with a drone above and around Pentagon, then make a new video “Do NOT DO this in USA” 🙂
@xx doğru
@LZB LMVM SEPEP ANNENDEN BİLE Mİ NEFRET EDİYORSUN?!
@Hayatın Renkleri lezbiyen olsa kızlardan niye nefret etsin.. ç
He was not recording buildings of Turkish Defense Ministry.
U think Topkapi Palace and Pentagon are the same?? Don’t smoke too much!
@LZB LMVM ya da lezbiyen misin ? cinsel bir yönelim ile yazdığın çok bariz bunu…
@T K I have been from Europe to South America. Been stopped once in turkey cuz of my name.rest is for history books. Will I go to turkey not even on Thanksgiving day
@q2hqi726ruxbkqp If you are not a son of a ..tch, then there is no point why your dad was arrested.
@Vato Loco 58 peki ya senin polisin kaçırıp, öldürdüğü, sonra haber alınamayan insanalrdan, diyarbakır cezaevinde yapılanlardan. veya gözaltına alınan muhaliflerin cinsel organının arandığından haberin var mı ?
@mustafa akkoçlar kardes amerikan polisinin siyahi veya latin amerikali vatandaslariyla naptiklarindan haberin var mi? Sana tas atmak istemiyorum ama Türk polisine ve güvenlik güclerine helal olsun.
@Big Boss no, it was the same during atatürk period, it was banned in the 1980 coup
I’d love to visit Topkapi Palace. I watched that historical drama “Payitaht “. It was awesome 👌 👏 ✌🇨🇦🇹🇷
@costa kikis why are you always like these? This post modern mambo jambo is funny dude. Don’t make us laugh.
@costa kikis Ottoman Empire had many Greek grandviziers/viziers, How many black vice presidents have US had in it’s history?
@costa kikis Cry us a river.
@Mehmet Oğuz Turan mehmet I have been in Istanbul for a month and I completely concur with what you say . If a Turk had flown that drone in the US in a highly protected terrorist target in Washington he’d still be chained up now . Istanbul as you say is a very safe city and the only people you see with guns are the police and military not customers in subway.
@Divert Living the first thing the police say when they come to you. First they warn you by saying this is no-fly zone 9:08
@Divert Living I live in Europe, I have a tiny drone and drones subject to permission everywhere.
However, they brought you into police station because this is how system works in Turkey.
No one cares till a bad thing happens. Then police collects everyone whomever in connection or not.
Luckily, it was just you in this example. The good thing is that you learned something about Turkey 🙂
@Divert Living in 9:35 The police officer says: just don’t fly near the mosque. and you? just fly directly ABOVE THE MOSQUE! ….all wrong man !!!
@Merve Kabul I wish to be wrong but who I know around me they think What I said.
@Ahmed Mahmoud Turkish cops are not racists. They can be aggressive but it is about your behaviour not about your race or skin color. In Turkey police doesn’t shot people just because he has different skin color. Sometimes you can meet with the wrong cop on a wrong time. But I guess your messages shows you have reactional character. Next time cooperate with police about what he says and you will see they turn polite. They are rude with the people who resists.
@Ahmed Mahmoud than go and take a tour to Greece and if you‘re arab you will be stopped for a control at once, so in my opinion Turkish cops are really liberal when it comes to such things! Especially when they see my passport, Albanian they also respect me more. For me personally there‘s nothing better than the turkish cops , cause I‘ve traveled a lot and I can tell you that from my experience 🙂
@everyday rubbish tbh i thought the same thing :d
Sen kizmisin? Kizlardan nefret ediyorum
Sağol bebiş
hahahahahahah omg this comment
@M. B. puff cut the crap kanka he should already have known that there was nothing to get scare of by looking at the manners towards him by those cops cause none of them had an accusing body language obviously. His acting skills need to be improved to make ppl convince and get more views mq it is even worse than kim kardashian’s talent valla🤣
@nu wtf is wrong with you? He doesn’t understand the language. Of course he is scared bc he didn’t know what he did wrong and police and military tell him to go with him. Seriously, why are you so mad. Stop calling him names. Tövbe
The thing is, he doesn’t understand Turkish. Of course the whole situation is scary. I mean just imagine you’re in a foreign country, you don’t know the language and all of a sudden not only the police but the military tell you to go with them. That’s scary for sure
@bat woman yasak uçuş için kayıt yaptırma şartı ve aslında kurallarda şehir üstlerinde havalimanları ve askeriye yakınlarında uçamazsın Türkiye’de kurallar bu yönde ama polis genelde göz yumuyor şehir uçuşlarına ama eğer havalimanı ve askeriye yakınıysa onda sıkıntı çıkıyor izin belgesiz şehşr üstünde uçulmaz valilikten şehir üstlerşnde uçuş izni slınması gerekiyor havalimanı ve askeriyelere yakın kesinlikle izin verilmiyor
