What Im trying to say is that if someone wants to spy on you there are a plethora of avenues they can take that dont involve a drone, and I still cant get over the fact that there are some people here that think they are the center of attention in their neighborhood to where people would want to spy on them..
Just hope yall dont shoot one of those high dollar drones that belong to a surveying company that maps the contour of the land or anything, thatll probably land you a felony.
For me to shoot a drone, it would have to be insanely close, like flying within arms reach and obviously being used for malicious reason. And even still, I would run the risk of getting arrested for damage to property.
The fact remains that if the drone is flying above your owned airspace (which like I mentioned is anywhere from 80 to 500ft) and you shoot it down you can be criminally charged.
Just did a google search for the article and Ill be curious to see if the charges against the shooter are dropped or upheld once the video evidence noted below is released. Again, sounds like a gross overreaction by someone who is frightened by technology. Wonder when they will go to court?
Following the original news story, the drone pilot has come forward with what he claims is the flight data of the trip that ended in disaster. Speaking with Kentucky's WDRB, the drone's operator, David Boggs, has provided a video record of the drone's movements on the date of the incident, appearing to show that the vehicle was over 200 feet in the air at the time it was shot down. Boggs also claims that he was flying his drone in the area to film a friend's home, and that his trip over Merideth's property had nothing to do with his daughter being outside.
