Good.

Fly a drone over your neighbor’s house, it’s the same as criminal trespass.

This was the guy whose daughters were out swimming in their backyard as that drone spied on them.

Glad common sense and justice prevailed.

“”Four guys came over to confront me about it, and I happened to be armed, so that changed their minds,” Merideth said.

“They asked me, ‘Are you the S-O-B that shot my drone?’ and I said, ‘Yes I am,’” he said. “I had my 40 mm Glock on me and they started toward me and I told them, ‘If you cross my sidewalk, there’s gonna be another shooting.’

How much air space do you own? If a plane flies over your yard is it also a criminal trespass? Can you shoot down ultralights, hospital helicopters, jet liners, hot air balloons, satellites, Cessna's, weather balloons, blimps, airships, your neighbors pet parakeet that got out? I think that your property rights have altitude limits and I Think that drone owners also have property rights. To not respect either is unjust.

The commenters here all seem to have convicted the pilot of being a peeping tom, there are many legitimate uses for drones and drone photography. Since I cannot legally shot your cat that comes on my property, and I can photograph your property from the street or from my own property is seems that the reaction here is knee-jerk to say the least.
