Yes; yes, that would be me... :)
“ You can legally throw a stick at it or snag it with a pool skimmer net.”
Flying kites was once a popular hobby. Now you could fly a few around the perimeter of your property, and have some nylon mesh flailing behind as a fashion accessory. I’m thinking 20-30’ depending on surface area of the kite. They might not be very effective in the daytime but if the wind is constant through the evening they would be a formidable defense to ner-do-well drones frolicking around!
So, your saying individuals souldnt have to put up with these creeps who like to do this?
Flying a drone to peep at people whenever they feel like it?
Go find the drone operator and make him disappear.
Nothing is said about needing a drivers license either, so let us know how things go following your line of reasoning.
You didn’t shoot it down if the operators insist they weren’t flying it.
“If a drone appeared over my property, there is a very high probability that it would be neutralized.”
If it is invading your privacy, why would you not be able to remove it?
Well let me just say, when I’m having a private party in my backyard, and a drone is hovering near by. My 3 -1/2 “ 10 gauge semi auto will be drawn into service.
I’m sorry but I don’t see myself taking a lot of shit from a drone. Passing by is one thing…
“Then, if that is the case, the operator needs to inform people in the area that that is the purpose.”
It’s common knowledge that the control center for military drones is located underground beneath the REDCOM building at MacDill AFB, Tampa Florida. We use them for surveilance. I don’t think they will be broadcasting their use when and where very soon. And most can’t get on the reservation to ask them. Drones are just another good idea that the public has stymied for the wrong reasons.

Drones are military weapons that changed modern warfare. If one was focusing on me, I would be very afraid for my life and my family’s and would have to use force to eliminate the threat.

Harrasment.

You do not own the airspace above your property.
Now, if the drone lands ....
I consider the airspace over my property SOVEREIGN AIRSPACE BELONGING TO ME and invasion of it by a drone a violation.
Florida has a similar law, but our more powerful peeping tom law works great on video recording anyone without their knowledge not in a public place.
If someone is going to say it is illegal to do this and you don’t have the right to do that...
Keep in mind that laws can be changed.
“Drones are military weapons that changed modern warfare. If one was focusing on me, I would be very afraid for my life and my family’s and would have to use force to eliminate the threat.”
They are about to become “Skynet” satellite controlled “eyes in the sky” aerial surveillance for Law Enforcement. Soon they will be following “suspects” around everywhere they go. Even innocent suspects.
This ones for that and public places.
As you know, these creeps like these drone abusers and “1st amendment auditors” have become real problems across the country.
Concerning these auditors. There are 4 trypes of public forums.
1. Traditional-parks, sidewalks etc.
2. Restricted-government buildings.
3. Designated-meeting places that designate speech.
4. Private-libraries, post offices, hispitals etc.
Anyone of those other than traditional, you can be trespassed from. One has no absolute right to simply declared the 1st amendment gaurentees their right to get in the face of anyone without their permission.
Then concerning all these forums, specifically traditional, the harrasmet laws come into effect.
If they persist and start calling you things, then the national statute of “fighting words” come into effect. Chaplinsky v New Hampshire, 1942.
One that i have yet to see consisered and used on these pricks is the right to freedom of religion-graven images. Someone doesnt want to be filmed because he considers taking videos/pictures of him is a violation of his 1st amendment rights of freedom of religion-graven images.
Could it be used also for these drone abusers? I dunno.
It comes down to respect. That is all it is.
