Yes we need a legal defense against Peeping Drones.
Do shotgun pellets fired straight up do any significant damage coming down? I thought it doesn't.

Depends on the load, but I've had light bird loads landing on me before, shot from about 60-80 yards away and into the air at clays, kinda felt like small hail/sleet.

Peeping drone, LOL.

Seriously though, a drone with a camera could be a peeping Tom’s dream come true.

How many stories have we heard of people putting tiny cameras in public restrooms, for example?

Don’t think that some pervert hasn’t thought of using a drone for Peeping Tom purposes.

Depends on shot size.

Straight up until stopped by gravity, then they fall until limited by terminal velocity.

At an angle, they are in ballistic trajectory all the way. Different juju.
