"Most of the
hexacopter survived the crash intact, but Joe ended up needing to
replace about $700 worth of equipment, which he asked McBay to cover, in
light of the fact that he’d shot the drone down, and all. McBay said he
would split the cost with Joe, but declined to pay the full amount, so
Joe took his neighbor to court - and won.
Property
owners have legitimate concerns about camera-wielding drones
photographing their property, where the law says there’s a reasonable
expectation of privacy, but it’s not yet clear what legal recourse you
have if your neighbor is using a drone to peep into your bedroom window
or just to be nosy about your gardening methods. Legal responses to
trespassing vary from state to state, and the courts haven’t agreed yet
whether drone flights count as trespassing."
I have no problem with rules that keep me from flying over my neighbors' property. I'd be happy with rules that require permission before a drone can fly over private property.
