There have been at least three recent cases of neighbor-on-neighbor drone violence:
- A man in Louisville, KY, blasted his neighbor’s drone worth over $1,800 because he said the drone flew over his backyard while his teenage daughters were sunbathing.
- A man in Lower Township, NJ, shot down a drone that was flying near his property and photographing a house construction taking place next door.
- A man in Modesto, CA, riddled a drone with shotgun pellets because he thought his neighbor’s drone was part of a CIA surveillance conspiracy.
So, don’t be too surprised if a neighbor reacts by destroying your expensive toy for getting too close for his comfort. Inform your neighbors that you’re a drone owner and you’re just partaking in a harmless hobby, and to please inform you if they become annoyed with your UAV. You never know—your unassuming neighbor might be this guy:
