If someone hasn't used drones to be peeping toms, I can imagine it is just a matter of time. So often in OLD, I hear the other side asking for pictures (fair enough, talking to a real person) and then after the Haley Mills (ie, rated G pictures), they are immediately asking for more revealing. It seems that life, at best, is just a bunch of picture collectors..........
........................which if they knew my home address, wouldn't surprise me if I saw drones going by. Worry me, yes, but not surprise me.
So how does one handle such a threat when it starts appearing? In my case, I do have the ability to play skeet with them with riot shot but what does one do if they can't shoot on their land?

No, you can't, unless you want a visit from the FAA. You don't own the airspace above your property.
In 1946 in the case of the United States v. Causby, a large military aircraft flew 83 feet
above a farmer’s land startling his chickens, causing them to kill themselves
by flying into walls. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the farmer.
So we are at least entitled to 83 feet.

That ruling determined that the government had established an easement over the property and required it to pay the landowners.
Also note that the farmer wasn't justifying shooting down the aircraft.
Drones a good for finding abandoned pets to save them and hopefully to someday find lost children.
I truly believe facial recognition with public cameras and computers would help find missing children. It would be beneficial to add to TV shows and old milk carton pictures asking if we have seen them. Plus I can't what it's called but it is the technology where we can how they would look as the age that would help too.
Last summer I had one flying around my house several nights a week after dark. At first I thought someone was running an electric saw someplace. But my son told me it was the sound a drone makes.
Suspect it was the neighbor's teen-aged son. Must have finally gotten tired of it. Or found a better house to spy on.
