    Pretty sure Deer Trail was selling licenses to shoot down drones. Maybe someplace in Florida will sell a similar license to hunt drones.

    Of course the coolest way to remove a drone is by training a bird of prey to take it down.

    You can see videos on YouTube of eagles taking out drones. Pretty sure the government trained them to use in crowded areas.

    That would be cruelty to animals,.
    I’m sure it is the same with propellers on drones. I remember back in the day with RC model airplanes, that the propellers would give you a mean cut if your hand or other body part got in the wrong place.

    I took a hit with my 15" nylon (glass reinforced) folding props and ended up with a decent cut. Had they not been folding, it would have been much worse. Carbon fiber props can quickly turn you into an amputee.

    I agree, but I think it might be a tough argument to make that something within X' feet is bothersome to you if there are other things like properties and public access within that envelope of the property line. I imagine that it's not something that'd ever go in front of a jury, and with just judges and lawyers it'd be pretty cut and dry.

    Ultimately, avoiding doing things that are likely to encourage legal action from your neighbors is the simplest solution.

    I'll bite.

    There is a reasonable expectation that some one or thing could observe you on your property from the street or an adjacent property.

    Is it reasonable to say that this 'expectation' also applies to the immediate airspace within the same property line?

    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.

    My point was in my opinion it's not reasonable to expect privacy anywhere outside anymore. With readily available inexpensive high resolution cameras, drones, and other technology you can be seen anywhere anytime when outside.
