I know someone who hit a real estate drone with a baseball!! That's illegal!! Even if it's over your property. The drone owners may not take pictures or video! The guy I know and the drone owner got pretty steep fines!!
@jazzy , I think some of your socks have teleported into my dryer!!
Waitwaitwaitwaitwait. You're telling me it's illegal to take down a drone, even if it's flying over your property (like, I dunno, looking in your 12 year old daughter's bedroom window) and it's ALSO illegal to fly over private property? Seems like a big win-win for the government, and everyone else gets screwed. How original....I know someone who hit a real estate drone with a baseball!! That's illegal!!

I highly doubt it is illegal to fly over private property. There may be some restrictions, like minimum flight height, camera use, etc. - but It's not going to be blatantly illegal to cross over private property. It that were the case drones would not realistically be able to fly anywhere. We don't own the airspace over our property. If a drone is hovering at your roof level, yeah, you might have some rights to do something about it (maybe). But if it's up there at 1000 feet (if that's even allowable - I don't know drone regulations), I'm betting that you have very limited, if any, rights to do much about it. Maybe if you own thousands of acres the pilot might get into trouble for flying into the middle of your property, but suburban folks who typically sit on 1/4 acre or less are probably out of luck. Unless there is evidence of illegal filming or something like that.and it's ALSO illegal to fly over private property?

Federal law, it's Federal air space! If the drone takes pictures or films over your property...bad, but they can fly over...and you pay if you take it out! Not local trouble, Federal trouble!!Waitwaitwaitwaitwait.

If it's a FAA registered craft, called 'an airplane', yes.Federal law, it's Federal air space! If the drone takes pictures or films over your property...bad, but they can fly over...and you pay if you take it out! Not local trouble, Federal trouble!!
Don't call me for bail moneyIf it's a FAA registered craft, called 'an airplane', yes.
If it's in shotgun range, it is called toast !
Most drones don't have a very long range. So if I saw one over my property it would mean that the operator would be somewhere on my property. That would be trespassing. I'm pretty sure that the drone operator would rather have his drone destroyed than to face this irate landowner.Federal law, it's Federal air space!
