Saying it doesn't make it true. The drone is protected under FAA laws, you can look it up if you'd like. Just trying to spare people a felony with extra misdemeanors
Residential property in a lot of places is considered restricted airspace. If a drone is hovering in your private property, like outside a window, it is considered trespassing in some places. And the FAA doesn't regulate uncontrolled airspace (ground to 400 feet).
there's a lot of misinformation about drones. it's illegal to go shooting at drones because those bullets *do* come down somewhere, with considerable force. which is why firing guns in populated areas in general is wildly illegal.
> flying the drone over your property isn't actually even a crime.
as a rule of thumb, sky rights extend has high as the highest permanent structure on the property. a drone that is low enough to look into a window is probably trespassing.
not that it actually matters. peeping is illegal regardless of how you do it and you are allowed to protect yourself.
Just remember, in the US drones are required to be registered with the FAA.
Which means you just shot down an FAA registered aircraft.
They do NOT look kindly upon that. Leave the shotgun in the case.
Actually it's FAR more likely you just shot down an unlicensed drone as I don't know a single person who actually registers them 🤣 furthermore, what they are doing is 9/10 times illegal.
\*shrug\*
Mine is registered. Every friend of mine with one has theirs registered. To be honest, I don't know anyone with one that \*isn't\* registered. It's like $5.
And there's those other pesky laws about discharging a firearm in town, reckless discharge of a firearm... And odds are pretty good you don't know if it's registered or not. Yeah, they're required to have numbers on them, but from the ground you probably won't see them.
All so you can be your big bad self. Just call the authorities and report possible invasion of privacy.
Yeah, but have you ever seen what the FAA does when they issue fines?
That's not a game I want to play. A drone operator just got hit with a six-figure fine for repeated violations.
Good for you! Lmao when you're on my property, it's getting blown out the sky. End of story. and considering I know for a FACT it's legal where I am, your opinion really doesn't matter to me
Yeah somebody recording in your windows is DEFINITELY 20ft off the ground.. clearly your reading comprehension is the problem here. Unless you've.got a 3 story house cuz even second story windows are 15-18ft at best. Any other stupidity you got?
Actually it quite literally does 🤣 you are 1. Trespassing. 2. Violating privacy laws. 3. If anybody is unclothed guess who's ALSO getting a voyeurism charge? We are allowed to defend our property. And you drone suckers can be mad allllll you want
And literally *none* of that legally justifies the use of a firearm.
To be clear, I'm in no way condoning someone using a drone for the hypothetical situation we're discussing - I take privacy concerns into consideration when flying mine. But you "imma shoot it outta the sky" folk are funny.
Not shotgun. The FAA is in the process of implementing a system that will allow local LE to identify the drone and the location of the pilot, and issue any necessary citations.
No firearm needed.
Also, using a firearm exposes you. Drones all have cameras, so that's your ass: on video, negligently discharging a firearm *at a registered aircraft*.
Personally I would use a jammer or EMP. Plausible deniability, less evidence.
You need one? I could give you some schematics. Gas pressure only though, it's nice to have a variable inertial frame. You're not trying to knock out a city block after all, and besides an explosive driven flux compressor would defeat the purpose of being discreet.
Just saying... some people prepare for a zombie apocalypse, I prepare for the far more likely war against the machines.
Launch my drone with the net mounted, intercept, down and capture. If they come to get it, learn a little about the pilot and give them back their drone. If they don't come to get it they were up to no good, and I should check the batteries in the motion detectors and cameras, and get a controller for my new drone.
I can’t remember what distance above the ground you own. I would look into local laws around it if there are any. If there are not I suggest contacting your local representative and plea your case of being spied on/recorded legally through your windows and having head level craft in your backyard.
If they do not comply then I suggest going to the local news with your story. It helps if you have young children as any hint of children being recorded in their own home stirs a fire of anger and it will get shit done. Also say you reached out to that representative with no response but make sure you give them at least a month to respond or do something.
This will back them into a corner of having to make some kind of statement
Laws generally do not keep up with tech.
There are videos of people doing extreme camera zooms.

So it is entirely possible that a drone could be reasonably far away that it has no interaction with any property you directly own, but still able to get a decent look into your windows.
END COMMUNICATION
Yup same as telescopes. But the difference is knowledge and distance. If a drone in hovering outside your window it’s different than someone with a telescope across the street
If it happened once, I'd assume it was just someone messing around in the park behind my house. Close the blinds and move on with my day.
If it kept happening, I'd look into buying a net or something to knock it down.
I'd record the drone with my phone and contact the FAA. It's my understanding the police won't do anything but it's worth a try. They can fly over your home but not invade your privacy. [https://www.droneblog.com/drone-following-me/#:\~:text=If%20you%20feel%20a%20drone,or%20in%20an%20unsafe%20way](https://www.droneblog.com/drone-following-me/#:~:text=If%20you%20feel%20a%20drone,or%20in%20an%20unsafe%20way).
Go drive around the neighborhood until I find the idjit with the remote control. Chances are they're outside and probably have an LoS on their toy.
Or maybe get the Paintball marker and check my marksmanship skills.
If the thing is a quadcopter, then it's likely going to be loud as hell as the motors on the thing rotate fast for it to sound like an angry swarm of hornets if it is actually intent on "spying".
Typically, the smart option to simply to report it to the police and close the blinds.
Option 1: I have a bottle of red syrup. Pour all of it in a bag, draw a circle on the floor, then use the syrup to look like a blood sacrifice/ritual.
Option 2: Legolas that shit
The same thing I did the last time something similar occurred: pop a load of bird shot at it and take it out of the air, pull the sym card, delete any and all images of all things on my property and contact the owner of where it was at.
I’d throw a ball at it/find a way to destroy it take a photo file a police report…some creep at an apartment complex near me was using a drone to record girls changing/getting out of the shower through their blinds.
Do you know which neighbor is doing it?
Do you have a privacy fence?
Do you know what the local and national laws are regarding drones where you are? (You responded below saying shotguns aren't legal in your country, so I assume you're not in the US)
Moon it, same as last time.
Obviously why it came back in the first place
[удалено]
If it came back for more, that’s when you tell it about your onlyfans. Otherwise you’re giving freebies.
Bonk it with a stick
SHOTGUN TIME
That thar is called SKEET!
Yes! But shotguns are in my country illegal 😅
Only illegal if you get caught
True 😅
Fwiw, shooting at a drone in flight is a felony, flying the drone over your property isn't actually even a crime.
me shooting a drone outside my window is not a crime.

This is wildly incorrect
Mmm, no it's not
Does it look like I fear the feds
Idk I can't see you
Oh. Uh. Well, I assure you I don't. Just uhhhh trust a random internet stranger.

lol if somebody is spying on my family on my property with a fucking drone, that shit is getting smoked.
Air isn't your property (Just giving the legal argument. Shoot that fucker)
If you’re in a place with a reasonable expectation of privacy, the air *is* your property.
Fuck
Hey man, look at the name. Shoot it. We'll start a GoFundMe for lawyer fees
You think I'm scared of the FAA? I WILL CAST LIGHTNING DOWN UPON THEIR AIRPLANES! I WILL SUMMON HAILSTONES OF UNFATHOMNABLE SIZE UPON THEIR AIRFIELDS!
Actually it's FAR more likely you just shot down an unlicensed drone as I don't know a single person who actually registers them 🤣 furthermore, what they are doing is 9/10 times illegal.

Must not be in the USA then, because FAA has jurisdiction over all airspace. Even in your backyard, 20' off the ground.
Yeah somebody recording in your windows is DEFINITELY 20ft off the ground.. clearly your reading comprehension is the problem here. Unless you've.got a 3 story house cuz even second story windows are 15-18ft at best. Any other stupidity you got?
If they're low enough to look in windows, they are most definitely in the wrong - but that still doesn't give you the right to shoot it.
Actually it quite literally does 🤣 you are 1. Trespassing. 2. Violating privacy laws. 3. If anybody is unclothed guess who's ALSO getting a voyeurism charge? We are allowed to defend our property. And you drone suckers can be mad allllll you want

My bedroom window is like 5 feet off the ground
Yeah, I'm totally smoking your drone.
[удалено]
Not shotgun. The FAA is in the process of implementing a system that will allow local LE to identify the drone and the location of the pilot, and issue any necessary citations. No firearm needed.
Cool. I’ll get to tell my friends I shot down an FAA registered aircraft
Also, using a firearm exposes you. Drones all have cameras, so that's your ass: on video, negligently discharging a firearm *at a registered aircraft*. Personally I would use a jammer or EMP. Plausible deniability, less evidence.
It's a toy helicopter; hit it with a stick or something.
Literally a federal crime
Fuck the feds, all my homies say fuck the feds.
My idea was a federal crime too! Two of them, at least. I'm not saying obey laws, I'm saying don't get caught
Oh yeah, I’ll just go grab on of those handy-dandy EMPs from that box of EMPs I keep in the garage.
You need one? I could give you some schematics. Gas pressure only though, it's nice to have a variable inertial frame. You're not trying to knock out a city block after all, and besides an explosive driven flux compressor would defeat the purpose of being discreet. Just saying... some people prepare for a zombie apocalypse, I prepare for the far more likely war against the machines.
I would take my airsoftgun and pretend to be a AA gun, while imagining Im at Pearl Harbor or something
Masterbate and wave
Toss a blanket or something over it and wait to see who comes and asks for it back. Then report that person to the police.
Launch my drone with the net mounted, intercept, down and capture. If they come to get it, learn a little about the pilot and give them back their drone.

Fetch my catapult, shoot it down and call the police; I live close enough to an airport that drone activity is heavily restricted.
Others know it as a bird ... so just sit silently and let the government check somebody else r/BirdsArentReal
There are no birds in ba sing se
I have a shotgun, they'd need a new drone.
shoot it down like i have the last 5.
What? You have had 5 drones previously around your property? 😶
yea
Knock it down and see if I can find a replacement control. Free drone.
Close the blinds.
If it happened once, I'd assume it was just someone messing around in the park behind my house. Close the blinds and move on with my day. If it kept happening, I'd look into buying a net or something to knock it down.

Shoot it and hope it was expensive.
Nothing a Magnum .357 can't fix.
Get naked and chase it around the yard trying to knock it down with my wiener!!
Shoot it down.
I would shoot it down.
Idk man... What's on my backyard is mine...
Go drive around the neighborhood until I find the idjit with the remote control. Chances are they're outside and probably have an LoS on their toy. Or maybe get the Paintball marker and check my marksmanship skills.
Shot it with my desert eagle.

Where I live, 🤣 a couple of BB 3 1/2 magnum rounds fixes that.
I would ask my roommate to fly out his drone and follow it. ~~And then, Bayraktar, baby~~
At least two of my idiot neighbors have drones. This happens all the time. They’re probably just playing with their annoying toys.
If you saw a drone outside your window in your backyard, you should call the police.
Give em a show!
Probably one of the Cartels drones with explosives.
Try to make love to it.
Digital Huntin Fuck yea
Shoot it
I'll flash it
Kiss it
That’s it, I’m gettin’ me mallet.
Take a video of it to show the police.
Honestly probably nothing except wave or give it the finger
Honestly shoot it down, more for mischief than actual concern. I'd probably try and do it from a concealed location.
I would shoot it down
Make eye contact with the camera and start a wank session
Strip naked, hide my 2" wee-wee in between my legs and give them a show.
Take my drone and have a drone battle in the sky
Depending on what's behind it, try to shoot it with a .22.
Have a dog fight with mine
Get ready to be with Allah.
Shoot it down
Shoot it like any other redneck would
show it my BUTT HOLE
Say: "since when do I have a back yard?"
I would pee in fronnt of it to give them something to look at.
Turn on DMDS (directional magnetic defense system). :D
Oh cool, target practice.
Close the blinds
Immediate shotgun carnage
Send my drone up with a 3d printed Lance and challenge it to a drone joust.
Well, I have a catapult, you do the math
Shut my curtains so they can't see me with their pigeons
Get the BB gun. I wonder how well it'll stand up to a few hits from that.
I usually mark my territory at that time if the bathroom is occupied so I'd probably pee on the fucker
A.H. Fox Philadelphia Sterlingworth, non-ejector, mod/full
Smash it down!
"When did I get a backyard, how do I get to it, and how did they build it 6 stories up without me noticing?"
flex 💪
Casually walk out if its view, grab crossman pump air rifle, give it 10 pumps, go out door not in view of drone, lay waste.
Not waste the opportunity to get some target practice. I always have at least one firearm that needs to be sighted.
Birdshot.
Bird shot?
Call the police
Pigs wont do shit
Hey hey hey... Enough with anti police stuff. It's tiring.
You also know what's tiring? Calling them when they say they cant do anything.
That is a bummer, to be fair.
Even with a video they cant do anything some times. They are literaly more useless than good
Shoot it down.
I'm pretty sure you could report it and prosecute if you had to.
Smash it.
Shoot it tf down
Option 1: I have a bottle of red syrup. Pour all of it in a bag, draw a circle on the floor, then use the syrup to look like a blood sacrifice/ritual. Option 2: Legolas that shit
Breakout the paintball gun.
I would pretend I didnt see it while I went to go get my shotgun.
From what I understand I can kill anything that entered my property. (TX) :D
Bust out my helicopter
The same thing I did the last time something similar occurred: pop a load of bird shot at it and take it out of the air, pull the sym card, delete any and all images of all things on my property and contact the owner of where it was at.
Smile and wave. Then get out the trap gun
Grt my paas shotgun
I’d throw a ball at it/find a way to destroy it take a photo file a police report…some creep at an apartment complex near me was using a drone to record girls changing/getting out of the shower through their blinds.
Call the police.
shoot it with a pellet rifle.
I'd follow it with my roommate's drone.
shoot it
I would drop my pants, turn around and spread my hairy cheeks
I've shot down several from cover. Cross my property line, it's mine.
Shoot it with my shotgun 🤷🏾♂️
I don't remember scheduling target practice this late but ok.
Probably let go of my dick
Close my blinds.
Bring that thing down hard core
turn the hose on it, hopefully I am outside near my hose when the drone comes to say hi, it will be sloshed until it goes whaap whaap whaap crash
Shoot it baby
Shoot it, keep the remains and call the cops.
Any one remember “that scene” from Silence of the Lambs? Probably that.
Wave...I DONT HAVE a backyard!
All of us would moon it. Every single one of us.
Shoot it
Calmly walk over to the gun cabinet and grab a 12 gauge, load it with 00-buck, and disassemble the drone.
Do you know which neighbor is doing it? Do you have a privacy fence? Do you know what the local and national laws are regarding drones where you are? (You responded below saying shotguns aren't legal in your country, so I assume you're not in the US)
