Neighborhood Drone

[fitz19d]

I'd like to hear more specifically what the supposed problem is. IE them actually flying the drone outside their windows or in a neighborhood vs someone with an acre getting butt hurt because they think it's crossing the property line some. (Which is very dubious to ascertain since just by looking at the drone telling true height and distance is not really accurate just by eyeballing it.) Or basically when people are out sunbathing vs just being indoors and annoyed that they can hear one being flown.

It's one thing to have court language, but completely another to have that mean anything. I've heard discussion with wildlife resource officers about the legality of shooting across private property from public to public with respect to hunting. A floor/ceiling of airspace was not part of that discussion, but I assume that was due to lack of airspace issues in general by the people having the discussion. It seems though, that a law enforcement officer would have some passing familiarity with the subject since drones are often talked about with respect to hunting.

Clearly, when shooting across private property from public to public, one must use indirect fire, so that the rounds go over the 83? of private airspace.

I suppose kneecapping the offending neighbor would be frowned upon.....

I don't think mortars are a legal method of take.

.45-70. Enough said.

I'd talk to the owner first. If that failed, then mention to local LE dept. The drone seems to hover over your property while in a swimsuit. You feel uncomfortable to the point the few times said drone has appeared you feel like it's stalking you, like a peeping tom. That's illegal no matter how dais invasion of privacy is done.

Laws or not pertaining to drones. There's a reasonable level of privacy for any home owner.

I like it.

I?d take it to the next level and say that the drone operator is spying on my children and try to have him branded as a pedophile. That should get law enforcement involved.

The problem with being annoyed is that people don't generally react in a rational manner. I know that I don't. I've been lectured on this very board for spraying my garden hose into the open window of someone speeding down my street for example. Anyway, what might annoy a drone operator that may be skirting the boundaries of decency/manners, if not the law, but isn't permanently damaging property that potentially costs thousands? Would a paintball gun be effective?

Heard of Google Earth?

I said 'reasonable' & 'immediate' & specific to the topic of quadcopters over residential properties/boundaries by near neighbors for who knows what purpose.

Introducing Google Earth as an comparable example in this context is just silly, dude.

Anything that impacts said drone will cause damage. Once again try resolving with dialogue, which i'd personally be recording on my phone. Worse case scenario, is there an HOA for the neighborhood? Sic those napoleanic natsee's on them.
