I didn't see any full scale aircraft he might have interfered with. Why should he be prosecuted for playing with a TOY Drone in a public place? He's Legal till they post a "No Drone Zone" sign. I'd say all he is guilty of is POOR judgement, as to his choice of flying venue. I really thought that bus was going to pull in to load or discharge passengers.
Good points. Also looks like there's a stadium in the background - Unless there was an MLB, NFL, or Div 1 sporting event there, no problems with flying there.

Biggest issue I see is that he's inside class B airspace I suspect....a big no-no.
