I filed this under humor. This outraged homeowner thinks she owns the airspace above her home. Meaning that her home insurer must ask permission to fly over her home, to see if she is in compliance with her insurance policy.

Of course a smart insurance company will use drones to see what is going on.

“This outraged homeowner thinks she owns the airspace above her home.”

She actually does, to an extent: https://aviation.uslegal.com/ownership-of-airspace-over-property/

If a claims adjuster cannot visit or trespass without the homeowners permission (https://www.insure.com/home-insurance/insurance-company-inspection.html), then I don’t see why drones used for the same effect should get a pass.

Actually, the FAA owns the airspace above her home and they have regulations about flying close to homes.

They don’t just fly over. They come right down to the level of the eves and take a photo straight across the roof at shingle level. They always seem to do it when no one is home, but my guess is that they get lower than that.
