I understand what you are saying.
This type of thing would vary with me. In town, You’re obviously not going to shoot one down. If a drone were flying low over my back yard, I would find the owner and get them to stop. I’d call the police if I had to.
People could very easy ‘case’ your property to see what you had they would like to steal.
In the country you can shoot them down. If someone came by my farmhouse, parked and started flying over my buildings, I’d shoot it down.
If it were flying over the back 40, trees and fields, no.
“People could very easy ‘case’ your property to see what you had they would like to steal.”
Ahhh... the old “casing” trick. Here’s a clue. Talk to your average street cop about who is breaking in and stealing things. It isn’t the Joker and the Riddler you are up against. Its some meth addled idiot who knocks on the door. If you answer, they’ll have a fine excuse for why they are there. If you don’t, they kick in the door.
If they had the 500-2000 dollars for a drone to conduct their pre burglary reconnaissance work, they wouldn’t be out stealing. They’d be taking the drone to a pawn shop and walking out with 100 bucks of dope money.
