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?

Most general aviation (not airline) airplanes don’t fly in a heavily regulated path. Especially if they’re out leisure flying. Where I fly for instance, once im out of a certain airspace around the airport, the instruction I’m given is “own navigation, own altitude” meaning do whatever you want. If traffic is an issue, both parties will be advised of the others location, and it’s on the pilots to maintain visual separation.
