That is my main concern, seems a bit like street racers giving car enthusiasts a bad name

I am not doubting the skill, but the concern for me is that these sort of actions is what causes things to get banned, and where the general public get off side with people flying drones. So when something get put forward where these may be banned public support from the public will be based on these sort of videos.

I certainly don't have deep pockets.

May be he should pick better locations to do so, he got very close to people, cars and buildings, I would hate for the person crossing the street to be hit in the head by a drone travelling at 100km/hr

Horses for courses for sure, but some common sense would go a long way in preserving the past time into the future.
