Some states differ on still shots as opposed to videos. Some of those videos can be amazing. But not crazy about them buzzing over my house.

You can't reason with unreasonable people.

Anyone sending a drone over my property to spy on my personal life, my nakedness or whatever, is not a reasonable person. Not gonna waste my time trying to reason with an unreasonable person.

It also occurred to me that there may be a peeping tom charge in there somewhere.

You guys really think highly of yourselves if you truly think people are taking time out of their day to spy on you...

Again, you can do all of that from an airplane. Yet no one freaks out when airplanes fly overhead...

Big difference between a plane flying thousands of feet above your head and a drone hovering a hundred feet over your head!

Planes fly as low as 500 feet (lower over the beach or water) - heights which drones can easily reach. Planes are about 1000X as large and many times as noisy. Planes and helis have "stock" stabilized cameras that can see if you have bad teeth from 1000 feet - drone pics are like cellphone pics.

I think it might be a good time for me to post some of my vids - I'm not a pro at camera use (just drones in general), but I think this gives some idea of what these are made to do. Notice - no real backyards involved.

I don't have a problem with drones being used "appropriately," and that includes farmers checking on fields, real estate sales. My problem is with the pervert down the road flying a drone with a camera around my windows or just plain too close to my house. They need to be flying at least 500 feet over a property that isn't theirs (or that they don't have permission to photograph).

Except drones are limited by FAA Part 107 to flying only UNDER 400 feet AGL. And that's really high for a drone. We are supposed to be able to see it, you know. Visual line of sight at all times.
