As of this date, I haven't heard of any laws that say it's illegal to fly a remote controlled toy over anyone's property.......

I don't know of any laws on that subject, but there will be some eventually. It won't be when you or I have our personal space invaded, but when celebrities and politicians do. The paparazzi will use drones to stalk them if they haven't already.

There should be limitations. No flying below roof level for one, no peering into windows. I think anyone who does either with a drone is trespassing and deserves to have their little toy used for batting practice.

Drone Wars: Who Owns The Air?
http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2014/05/30/317074394/drone-wars-who-owns-the-air

... In 1926, Congress created what we now call the FAA, and declared that the air above 500 feet is the public domain....

... the court sided with Causby, ruling that landowners own the sky above their homes up to at least 83 feet....

...FAA has been sending out cease-and-desist letters to commercial drone pilots all over the country, threatening big fines for flying little drones. The FAA says that, for safety reasons, it is regulating the airspace between 83 and 500 feet....

You mean we have too much freedom so we need government to step in and use its power to tax and regulate to prevent someone from owning an RC helicopter that *might* be used to take a picture of your property? Meanwhile this very post of yours has been tracked and the government's Social Network Analysis program is being used to compile a dossier on you to determine if you might be a threat to the government someday.

But, yeah, it's easier to worry about toy helicopters.
