The whole drone thing is going to make for some interesting court battles. When are the encroaching on your space. I've already seen a lot of stories about people shooting them when someone flies it onto someone else's property. They're pretty cool with the technology and cameras they get on those things now. I've been wanting a https://www.lily.camera/
If they can get under the pine tree canopy on my little one acre of heaven, I will blast them into oblivion, pick up the pieces, and drive them off into the countryside and become yet one more Arkansas Dumper.
EOD.
I think you'd be well within your right, and that's the honestly the side I would lean toward too.
We had a bill to make it legal to shoot down drones on private property but It never made it to the floor for a vote. That'll prolly be next year's signature bill in our legislature.

A) No I won't go to jail.
B) I don't care if I do, they get shot.
Y'all can discuss side ramifications till the cows come home.
Sorry, I don't read her stuff.
How about the Christain Science Monitor?

I would think trespassing laws would be in effect if they got too low
Bucky I think you're still ok...Two things in this story one "Meredith was arrested under a local ordinance that bans the use of firearms within city limits." The arrest was city limits violation......two, telemetry is alleged to show the drone was not shot on property...
Me too. I thinking more along the lines of the way Bucky feels. However it would have to be low to warrant some action. I mean planes fly over your land all the time and I'm sure you cannot shoot at them.
In this case the drone was low and hovering over his daughters at the pool as he claims I can sorta see his actions. My thinking is it had to be sorta low in order for the man to shoot it down? Just unsure what is right here.
I agree but there has got to be some limits on how low these things can come down and hover OVER property you do own? I guess when it starts invading your privacy that would be the limit. What "level" that is I'm unsure of?
You are as full of bull as a christmas turkey. And ugly to boot.
And I don't care what you post, or who you quote. (Although your sentence "telemetry shows it wasn't shot on property" is key. You're overlooking that one.
If they get in MY air space, bam. I might even show you the pictures. OR not.
As I said, EOD.
Come on Bucky, I'm trying hard to agree with you (and actually do to a point) but really you don't think you own the airspace above your property do you?
Do you shoot at low flying prop planes that fly over?
Shooting AT it is one matter, HITTING it is another. ;)
I think most drones for private use are going to fall in the Class G airspace below 1200 feet, and a lot of the hobbyist are going to be way lower like 100 feet..if its a plane at 10,000 feet I'm less concerned with the intrusiveness of pictures being taken. We have drones that fly at 90,000 that you'd never even know are there http://www.zdnet.com/article/faceboo...-a-boeing-737/ .....so clearly some guidelines will need to be set on height limits for trespassing
By the way, where are those damned boat pictures?

Over 15 years ago I saw pictures taken from a satellite that were clear enough to read a tag on a vehicle or small numbers on a mailbox. No telling how much more I proved that is now.
I guess the difference would be, never mind I don't know the difference.
The difference is Bucky can't shoot that far.
BKB
I wasn't hoping for pictures of her head.
BKB
I actually have a picture of them unleashed, but I don't know the site rules on such .....
This thread just took a positive turn
Rules are made by the Secret Committee now.
Clearly, you can surmise how that turns out...............
Well, the guy was flying his drone in what appear to be a pubic area. The fisherman IS an ahole...
As far as shooting a drone hovering over your place UNTIL laws are changed you dont own that airspace and it is not legal for you to destroy that other person property. I have to agree it would be intrusive and the law has to catch up with the technology and eventually will. Still I cant see how said law will allow you to shoot the drone...
AND since the law is so greyish on that sense, that is why I am sure they went after the gun discharge in city limits as it is a clear law. If you are worried about drones I think all you could do right now "legally" is to get some sort of microwave directional transmitter to jam the drone transmit/receive signal and that will probably take it down undamaged, then take possession of the drone that drop in your lawn that you own... I am sure someone is working on such transmitter if it is not already done...
what if you snared it with a fishing rod and a treble hook?
BKB
Rules? We don't need no stinkin' rules.... ( in my best Blazing Saddles voice)
Seriously, however we have always been respectful knowing we have many members that check in from work and places where a picture of a couple of loose puppies could cause them trouble.
Usually if someone post something "risky" they will start a thread and put " not work friendly" in the thread title. So members can choose to not open it at work. That has always worked in the past.
Wallaby damned!
+10 for Captain.
Birddog and I have been saying for years now that Blazing Saddles couldn't be made nowadays. there's a lesson there somewhere about how we got the way we are.
not to get all serious and shit.

Great movie.
Think that was the first time farting was allowed in a movie.
