These are mostly quadcopters that started as simple RC craft that you could fly indoors or in your backyard. They aren't spy gear. They are home hobbyist stuff. A friend has a smaller one that has a camera that he flies via VR goggles, so that it's like flying yourself. That's the appeal of them. He like s the feeling of being a bird with a bird's eye view of the world. But to listen to some of you, the only reason to fly one is to spy on neighbors and be a perv. Absolutely untrue and quite frankly, ignorant.
I've got little RC helicopters I like to fly from my backyard. it's done for fun. You shoot it down, I'll make sure you never use a goddamn gun again in your life, prisoner.
Not for me to worry or get to know drones, if you fly it over my house. I am very busy, a full-time and half work, family, fun-for-me things, kids, wife, aging parents, doctors, you think learning about drones flying over my house is "on my radar?"
Even more, their tech and how now tech and camera quality improves by leaps and bounds -- you think I am about to research and get up to speed? Or you think I will believe strangers on the internet?
Look -- very simple -- you fly something over my property, without my prior consent, you may get shot down.
And who says I shot it down? You think PD will come to investigate your POS $ 1,000 drone shootout? I hope your PD has better things to do -- like stopping crime for example.
Nothing difficult about that. I did say something. I rolled down my window once and asked him nicely if he could move please. He flipped me off. Nice behavior, eh? But what can you expect from an adult who walks in the middle of the street and doesn't watch for traffic and gets mad when someone politely asks him to move?
Not sure rolling down the window and telling a guy to move is what I would call a friendly greeting or curious interest in the neighbor and what he was doing with his drone. As I said... Neither party here is trying to understand or get along with the other. It doesn't surprise me that the neighborhood has a hostile view of everyone else.
I actually dislike my neighbor quite a bit, but when I see him outside, we stop and share a few pleasantries. It's what civilized people do, when they don't want to make enemies out of the neighbors.

I wouldn't expect the drone-owner to go around the neighborhood and ask permission, however, he should have however made an attempt to talk to his immediate neighbors, and get their consent / agreement.
Secondly, there are places where you can let your drone loose. I see them all the time. He should use those. If you're not a real estate person, then go do you hobby elsewhere. What happened to the civility of not bothering others?
We are having a heated debate in our neighborhood. One of our neighbors is flying their drone with a camera over and around the houses in our subdivision. This is ticking off some of the neighbors. Just for background, our subdivision is a non HOA with all of our lots being 1/2-1 acre in size.
Some of the neighbors are saying their home ownership rights extend up vertically and that the neighbor's camera drone is infringing on the home owner's privacy.
I really don't care but my hubby said "What if some neighbor flew their drone past the high bathroom window we have (that has no curtain treatments on because it's too high) and you or one of our kids were getting out of the tub or shower?"
Hmmm. That gave me a bit of pause.
What say you?
Maybe this has already been suggested, but some municipalities have laws against this type of spying. People DO have privacy rights. Sending drones over others' property can be considered stalking. Check with your local police to find out if this activity is regulated by law in your locale.

So to your mind, destroying $1000 of someone's personal property is not a crime?
Hmmmm.

These sorts of weenie messages immediately remind me that there are some true cowards out there in this world - passive aggressive cowards too. You know, they could send you a PM or a direct message - but no, because their name would show, so they leave a negative rep comment instead, which is so silly it's pathetic.
This is against the TOS and these rep comments can easily be traced by the moderators - who WILL track them down and issue a warning (or an infraction if there are enough warnings to warrant it) if you report it.
