Why is your toy copter over my house?<>

Because it's a toy and my yard is too small to fully appreciate the fun of flying it...........

Why are you so paranoid about my toy helicopter?

FTA: “Investigators say the resident was taking aerial photographs of his friend’s home, which is under construction.”

IOW, a drone “peeping” on a neighbor...some kind of “friend” who then goes and reports him to the police...

The article is not clear, but it appears there are three parties involved. The land-owner whose house is under construction, the pilot/friend who was using his R/C copter to take pictures of the house under construction, and the neighboring shooter. That was my take, anyway.

“The Mythbusters proved a slug from a bullet falling from the sky will not hurt you.”

Only if it is pointing exactly upwards otherwise you got a trajectory and the bullet doesn’t lose all its energy before returning to the ground.

Hmmm, I see airspace privacy laws coming? If you have a privacy fence, no drones? I personally hate fences.

We had such a different life before swimming pools and fences in suburbia. It really was like a small town. Now it’s one big development from DC to Boston. Can you tell I’m getting claustrophobic?
