Drones overhead.
Forums:
Was out back working on a new raised bed when I heard what sounded like someone using a weed whacker a few doors down. The sound grew louder and looked up and saw a drone floating overhead. Thought about shooting it down for a second, then thought it would be cool to get one and wouldn't want to have anyone shoot down mine if it was just cruising the neighborhood. What do you all think about drones hovering over your property?

Don't own property so it's no biggie now but if I had a back yard...
They can be loud and annoying.
We saw some cool RC planes last weekend by Berkeley Marina. Fast.

I live near a USA military
I live near a USA military base which includes Ft. Dix & McGuire AFB. So, besides being in the landing path of large aeroplanes, we often have helicopters cruising around the woods / fields.
As long as they don't poach the local Deer, I'm OK with them learning how to fly their choppers overhead. I figure they are just youngsters from all over the USA, attempting to earn their military pilot certifications.
Would be nice if they kicked down some $$$ for the use of my airspace. I'd even let them do 'recovery training' if they would haul a few Logs out of inaccessible ravines, and drag those to higher ground.
I imagine that some of the tree - stand Deer hunters use a camera drone or two to monitor herd movement... I certainly would.

Just as people can't put
Just as people can't put their hands a centimeter over your body and say "I'm not touching you" and follow you around all day like that after you tell them to stop, someone shouldn't be able to operate a drone anywhere inside your the personal space of one's home or in a manner that's intrusive of your privacy. Not sure where this limit starts / ends?

Real estate agent hired a
Real estate agent hired a drone operator to film the house for sale next door. Drone flew beyond the neighbors yard to above ours.
Went to talk to the operator. He had an FAA license. Asked if a property owner could shoot down a drone.
He said NEVER! Also he informed me you own the air above your land only as high as the tallest tree on your property.
Above that the FAA owns and regulates the airspace

If you intend to "disable" a drone flying into "your" airspace, just remember - if you can't see the operator (or even if you can), the drone prob. has a camera.

Went to talk to the operator.
The FAA only regulates, does not own, the airspace above 400 ft. Under 400 ft, unless in take off and landing lanes for an airport, local jurisdiction is king. As far as I know right now, it is a federal crime to interfere with any aircraft, manned or unmanned, in a "violent" manner. Shooting at a drone would fall under the category of violent, as would trying to blind the aircraft. The State of Utah does allow a person that is complying with all other laws to violently interfere with unmanned aircraft under the 400 ft ceiling although the federal gov says that law is invalid. They are fighting it out in the courts.
