> nor are LIDAR-equipped RC aircrafts/drones particularl

Here in Romania it can be quite illegal to LIDAR map the local terrain without an official approval, and I'm not quite sure if that approval is ever given to individual persons/groups of persons that do not have any official status. So, no, I cannot just go out and LIDAR map my surroundings, even though the technology is available, I'd risk going to prison.

Is looting also not illegal in Romania already? I think the context was already "These people don't care about laws", so again there is nothing practical stopping them from doing so.

It already is, but it's easier to loot on the ground than to put a drone in the air, filming/recording stuff. I.e. we stil have some people trying to loot/dig in places where they shouldn't have, but we have a lot less fewer people putting unauthorised Lidar thingies in the sky. And I say that while I'm part of the local/Romanian Lidar Facebook group.

You're absolutely right it's easier to loot on the ground though.
