It’s your world nutball. Merrily blast away at whatever you see in the sky. Doesn’t bother me a bit.

You are one of two categories of freepers who I always enjoy reading the sophistry of. Those who oddly admire and rise to the defense of the WWII German military, and those who freak out about drones to the point of gunfire. Other topics are serious, but those two especially amuse me.

I hope you get one soon!

Okay, then I'm a nutball because I won't surrender the management of the airspace (in close proximity to the ground) over my back yard to the whims of some Washington Beaurocrat. Guilty!

Then why are we having this conversation? Why are you clearly upset about my comment?

I haven't once in my life voiced admiration for the rise of the WWII German military. Not guilty!

On the other hand, I have trashed European buisnesses that fed the buildup of the German military. Not guilty.

(2) those who freak out about drones to the point of gunfire.

IF someone flies their drone over my property relatively low to the ground, they are invading my space. Guilty!

They shouldn't be surprised when I object by destroying something they are not capable of operating with common sense. Not guilty.

Good.

I may. When I do get one, I'll use some consideration for others when I use it.

There are plenty of places people can play with their drones. Their own private property. Certain street areas. Vacant lots. Parks... In parks a person should use discression, so as not to offend others. Another words, the same thing these folks should have used.

Believe we have an expectation of privacy while on property. Someone flying a drone with the camera is no different than somebody keeping into a window from outside of your property and I do believe there are laws against that. Does that give you the right to shoot a peeping Tom - NO .

We are in a gray area where someone is using technology to do activities that encroach on others rights. As with most things technology is moving faster than the long so it's hard to determine what is right and what is lawful.

If someone mounts a directional antenna or microphone and directed into your home do you have a reasonable right to stop that invasion of your privacy. If someone hacked into your Wi-Fi and activate the camera on your laptop but aren't physically residing on your property are they free and clear because the FCC has given those frequencies for use.

I see no difference between someone using a drone in public airspace over my property and using video surveillance with somebody intercepting my Wi-Fi traffic both are immoral, without good reason and an invasion of my rights to be secure unwarranted search.

No one has gone and shot the operators of the Drone just the instrument of the perceived privacy invasion. Correct in that there are laws governing airspace that were designed for commercial aircraft but there are also laws about one’s privacy on one’s own property and home.

Personally I wouldn't wouldn't shooting down the drone and less I had a minor that was being observed or if I felt the operation was reckless. I live in a rural area and feel quite comfortable using various shotgun rounds without fear of encroaching on someone else’s property if I miss a stray shot.

Just like you used to comment to talk about people defending Germany I will use your comment to say that you sound like a person that would defend an unencrypted Wi-Fi hack in order to do an invasion of privacy against a minor child by a pedophile and blame the owner of the wi-f’i for not doing a better job.
