Went to the park with a couple of friends and their kit drones one day. First one up and flying, fun. Second guy turns on his controller, oops same channel as the other one, which then fell out of the sky. I assume more sophisticated radios/protocols exist. But the cheap stuff seems really fragile, just sayin’.
I am surprised that the second amendment supporters on this site are not more supportive of property and privacy rights. Folks who steal your privacy are in the same class as those who want to steal your guns.
Just think of it as a drone buyback. ?

Save your breath. I've posted several links but they don't apply in this particular case. Apparently. ?
But I can legally fly a cessna 172 over your property and take all the photos I want with a nice camera and telephoto lens, all perfectly legal. If you're out in the country I can do it below 1000 feet too.
Hahahahaha, and I'd tell you the same thing I've told others many times over the last 30 years working as a photographer. I'm doing everything legally, sorry you're unhappy. I'd probably do it again just for fun.
Mysterious drones flying nighttime patterns over northeast Colorado leave local law enforcement stumped
A band of large drones appears to be flying nighttime search patterns over northeast Colorado and local authorities say they don’t know who’s behind the mysterious aircraft.

I was working in this exact area just last month. Other than farmland, and these small towns, there's not much out there. All the AF missile solos are much farther West, and there is a Wind farm North of Haxtun, and possibly on the Nebraska side of the border. So I'm guessing this Drone thing may be Ag related? One thing that was odd, North of Paoli, there was some huge brightly lit facility. Was going to ask one of the locals what that was about, but forgot.
It could very likely be a LiDAR mapping operation?

So, actual drones. Not quadcopters.
B
Because a quad copter would need to be within a few feet of a window to see much with their wide angle lenses.

I believe you, but I need the official FAA web link to that specific "ceiling" aspect of the ruling, so I can give it to my Sheriff. Thanks.
I’m a hobbyist drone pilot, and I’m sorry, but you’re wrong. FAA regs require all drones over 250grams to be registered with the FAA. I cannot fly more that 400’ within 400’ of a structure. Meaning if I’m 400’ from an 800’ antenna, I can fly to 1200’, inside that 400’ radius.
There is no way local legal told the guy you charged he had to be 500’ above your house. They likely told him to stay 500’ AWAY from your house.
Is It a Crime to Fly a Drone Over Another's Private Property?
Federal, state, and local laws apply to drone use, whether you're a realtor taking aerial shots of a property or a proud parent filming a game.

Except, a drone isn’t defined as “low flying aircraft”. There’s an entire section of FAA regulations that pertain explicitly to drones. You should read them instead.

Like this one that says you can't fly at 1200 AGL,
Fly your drone at or below 400 feet when in uncontrolled or "Class G" airspace. This is airspace where the FAA is not controlling manned air traffic. To determine what type of airspace you are in, refer to the mobile application that operates your drone (if so equipped) and/or use other drone-related mobile applications. Knowing your location and what airspace you're in will also help you avoid interfering with other aircraft.
Here's a link to a law firm blog that is pretty clear. http://lawfirmcarolinas.com/blog/airspace-rights-and-property-owners/
You are allowed to go over 400' IF you need to go OVER an obstacle, such as a large high rise building. Specifically "commercial licensed" drone operators. And while a "commercial licensed" drone operator may NOT fly at night, an unlicensed operator has no such restrictions.
So, if a person were to have (or be building) replica model catapults, trebuchets and other 'fun toys' and their yard being an obvious "testing ground" for said enjoyment, then what said landowner is doing on their own land is perfectly fine. Even to include 'model rocketry' and the like. Therefore, it seems to me that if said landowner is "doing their own thing" on their own land and someone else's "flying veHIcle contraption" were to 'get in the way of' said landowners previous and current endeavour,,, then it is up to the owner of the 'flying veHIcle contraption' to provide redress to the landowner for impeding in their own personal, private endeavors on their own personal, private land.
NO?
NO?
Buy a cheap drone and kamikaze their drone. Who can prove who is at fault. Or hang some string below yours to entangle theirs.
Blast it with a paintball gun to mask the camera.
Not sure of legalities on your own property but maybe have a cell signal blocker because a lot of long range drones use the cell signal to operate.

General rule of thumb is 400 feet, there's also line of site exemptions as well. BNSF railroad uses everything from Phantoms to this, https://www.bnsf.com/news-media/railtalk/safety/bnsf-drone.html
Are you guys just going to drone on and on about this? ?
The founding fathers would have shot more than just the drone. M
Why do we even have a constitution anymore. 4th amendment?
