All drones should be shot out of the air on sight.
Good grief. He shot down a drone. Big deal. Those things are invasive.
I’d want to see all the pics taken by that drone.
If he shot it while over his property, he should have fought the charges.
I wonder what he would have been charged with if it had been a police drone?
I never realized how much drones are now being used in outdoor sports, especially in skiing.
How far do “Air Rights” extend over a property?
Right.. How is it different from a Peeping Tom?
Yep they are showing up in a lot of places.
Can you imagine what it will be like in 10 years?
Who's doing the criminal mischief, the guy who shot the spy drone down, or the guy operating it over areas of private property not his own?
Leni
I think it was over his property and the other guy lied. There’s a goofy statement in there that said he lost control of it....but the sentence is screwed up...like when someone lies.
Exactly!
I thoroughly agree.
If that had happened some hot-shot attorney would have to figure out HOW MUCH of the air above your house is yours.
You KNOW that they're thinking about it.
Hmmm...shot line with grappling hook so you can drag it back onto your property.
Remote Control (RC) platforms have been flying for over 50-yrs.
Shoot them all?
Is your beef with the rotor-wing or fixed-wing RC platform, or both?
First, ask this question and get an answer: Just how much of the air above your property is “owned” by you.
There are police helicopters and news helicopters and private helicopters all over the place. . .shoot them if they fly over your property?
The RC community was self-regulating for over 50-years and doing a good job and then the cost went way down. Now every kid has a rotor-wing RC platform (by saying kid, I mean the physical or mental age of the person).
The FAA is now regulating RC platforms, fixed-wing and rotor. The FAA now requires ALL “drones” to be registered and the FAA is further exploring regulating airspace restrictions and operations as well.
Do you support the FAA regulating “drones” (UAVs, UASs, RC, RPVs, etc)? Think about that.
Thing is, almost everyone will have to file a flight plan with the FAA, as right now the way the regulation is written, EVERYTHING that flies in the national airspace comes under their purview, meaning you throw a football or hit a golf-ball, or jump too high on a trampoline and you are now in the national airspace and subject to FAA regulation (typical government over-kill for sure).
So, back to your point (shoot them all). do you have a LEGAL solution/recommendation.
Seriously asking.
I know, I know, asking you, Laz, to be serious for a second is akin to asking hillary to stop wearing ‘ol crusty. . .not gonna happen.
But it doesn’t hurt to ask. . . .right Laz. . .I mean you wouldn’t hurt me, now would you. . .(ducking)
;-)
How much of the airspace above your property belongs to you?
How high do your property rights go?
“If that had happened some hot-shot attorney would have to figure out HOW MUCH of the air above your house is yours.

“They” are. . .the FAA is working this in typical government over-kill fashion. Post 17.
