While planes operate in heavily regulated paths, how come helicopters travel as they please without collision risk, e.g. copter cams following a car chase?

Planes operate in heavily regulated paths only in restricted airspace like around airports. When flying internationally the highway-like paths planes make are due to efficiency (shortest possible path) and navigation using beacons.
Helicopters and planes are free to fly however they please (within reasonable rules) in open airspace.
