A couple of guys learned things can go wrong in a hurry in the skid row area of Los Angeles.

The video begins with a couple of guys getting pulled over. The explain what they are doing to the cop and he gives them a lesson on the area. This serves as the voiceover for the drone video which begins with a flight beginning at 5th and San Pedro, turns a corner at San Julian Street, and then…well, then comes the trouble.

“Every corner is controlled by somebody,” says the cop. “You just can’t go into a neighborhood, or let alone a block, and just start filming.”
