I missed one by inches with a pink skitter walk in Allyn's Bight this summer . I knew who's it was though and the video was actually pretty cool.

There have been a couple incidents in Texas that aren't mentioned in the news were the FAA gave out fines for shooting drones.
What you are referring to fall under privacy laws and the drone operator if found can be prosecuted by local police for "peeping Tom" laws. And pretty soon those probably wont matter with how far you can zoom in on google earth lol

Originally posted by Alta View PostI’m not arguing that shooting down drones should be legal. That should (and will) remain illegal for a number of reasons. In your original post you mentioned that you don’t understand why people react the way they do to drones and not helicopters. I was pointing out there are a number of reasons for that. Eventually laws will need to be revised for drones but I don’t think that should include shooting them down.

"An entry into another’s airspace is a trespass even if the trespasser doesn’t touch the surface of the earth. Aircraft may trespass by flying low over a person’s property, for example. An aircraft trespasses by flying low enough over the surface to interfere with the owner’s reasonable use and enjoyment of his/her surface."
Airspace ownership is defined as the airspace that an owner can reasonably use, such as putting up an antennae of sorts or building a high-rise building. It is muddy waters beyond that because airspace above what a land owner can use belongs to the public.

The low cost of unmanned aerial vehicles (also called drones) in the 2000s re-raised legal questions regarding whose permission is required to fly at low altitudes; the landowner, the FAA or both.[12] There has never been a direct challenge to the federal governments vesting of the right for citizens to travel though navigable airspace. As such, the status quo is only permission from the FAA (through regulation) is required. However, existing property rights over private property still allow for civil claims of taking when property use is "substantially impaired" by the use of the airspace.[13] The FAA has also reiterated that it has sole authority to regulate this right.

Originally posted by ultrastealth View PostPrivate aircraft are prohibited from flying below 500 feet without the landowner's consent. I don't see why drones wouldn't be included in this.
Anywhere: an altitude allowing a safe emergency landing without undue hazard to person or property on the ground;
Over Congested Areas: an altitude of 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal distance of less than 2,000 feet;
Over Unpopulated Areas: an altitude of 500 feet AGL;
Over Open Water or Sparsely Populated Areas: an altitude allowing for a linear distance greater than 500 feet from any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure;
Helicopters: If without hazard to persons or property on the surface, an altitude lower than in definitions 2, 3, and 4 above, provided in compliance with any routes or altitudes specifically prescribed for helicopters by the FAA.
