I was staying at my brothers house and my dog was unnaturally restless and wanted outside during the night. I went outside with her and caught a drone flying in his backyard. Freaked me out. Shortly after he was robbed. Nothing worse than a thief!
Yes this is true and a fact especially in rural high crime towns or small cities... Now the high-tech thieves blend in with the recent air traffic of insurance companies that aren't going to the door but flying their insurance company drones over people's properties to assess the risk on their insurance policy contract to see if they want to pull out or keep insuring the property ‼️
If this instance wasn't something like an insurance company, I'd put money on this being the goal of this particular drone. To case homes. There just happened to be someone gone that day at that house
No expectation of privacy, unfortunately anywhere outside and or visible from outside. Plain view doctrine. However if over my property line makes it a tresspass and bang.
Unfortunately the drone isn't breaking any state or local laws, bc they are regulated by FAA and operate in FAA airspace. At best it flew over people or cars and broke a couple drone operation laws.
What are you going to do? Shoot it? Most drones are incredibly nimble and don’t hover in one place. Most likely you’ll miss, have the cops called on you, and the drone will be safely at home 5 miles away when the cops arrive. Think twice.
This was happening on our neighborhood. It was a teenager and his pre-teen brother. Neighbors corrected the situation. Haven’t seen that drone in 2 years.
I doubt that in a populated suburban neighborhood, surrounded by families and children for miles, that any officer would be ok with someone going out and trying to shoot down a small moving target.
Those EMF guns that you were able to buy on Amazon a few months ago before the feds got involved and shut that down were very useful for things like this so now since you can't buy it commercially you have to make it yourself
Not all drone operators are jerks. These are the kind that give others a bad name, just like anything else in this world. Drones can be used in a safe, non-invasive way, for flying over areas after a disaster to locate people who need rescuing, or even just to film the beauty of nature for others to enjoy who can’t visit these places. My husband is a licensed drone operator with a pilot’s license & he’s very responsible on how & when he flies. It’s usually the “recreational” operators who don’t know the rules or just don’t care that ruin it for others, or worse, break the law like this. And by the way, it’s a federal offense to shoot down a drone.
I think most people realize that drones are being abused by a select few. And I wouldnt condone just randomly shooting at a drone for flying over my home. In fact most States have either passed or are proposing Legislation to restrict use within a certain distance of private property without owner consent. But make no mistake, Federal law or not, if a drone is hovering in front of my kids bedroom window, it will be shot down. And chances are, authorities will go by the 'Spirit of the Law' as opposed to the 'Letter of the Law'.
@@upshiftgo, any creep peeping in windows deserves the penalty. Seriously what's wrong with people?? Get a life and stay out of other people's business.
Glad my neighbor wasn't doing this with his drone. He honsstly goes above the houses and told our our roof DESPERATELY needed to be repaired. He was right
Unless it's recording and sending live to a remote location. You destroy the drone but not the feed capture. Definitely like the shoot the clay pigeon theory you present though. Technology is scary.
I’d keep it in case there are electronic details that could be gathered about the owners whereabouts since it seems they would likely just purchase another.
Would a BB gun work? That was the first thing I thought. I’m from the era when most boys got BB guns for Christmas. Whoever is operating it wouldn’t want to send another one. 😮
They fly away now what then they come back you lose your mind wandering the world aimlessly for decades no one knows how you're still alive. Because your still waiting for the noisy beast. Little do you know drones were banned 20 years ago because drones and their pilots are EVIL!!! DUN DUN DUN
As a drone operator, I find this sort of thing disgusting. Guess it shows that any hobby can have creeps. Sad thing is crap like this turns people against us respectful controllers...
you didn't question the story at all? two millionaires complaining about a kids quad flying in public airspace? im sorry i need more then the perception of two old people. an notice leo claims not to be able to find the pilot. my neighbor tried accusing me of stuff like this. so i said call the cops. he says he has a photo of my drone. im like lets see it, call the cops, i have telemtry data an gps data. angry face. dude wants me to stop flying my drone an tried the old "im on the porch with my daughter". dude got lit up. you need to question things more. i don't see the drone being used like a perve i see two old rich jerks that want them banned.
@Versul1 Exactly. Next time that couple sees a drone operator at the local park, they're automatically going to have bad feelings and attitude toward him.
Y'all be careful. I live in a small Texas town, and a few months back, someone was doing the same thing. He later robbed houses that he didn't see anyone at home during the day. So it could be just scoping out which houses are empty and if they have anything worth stealing.
If you have never shot a gun before, you really need to get proper training. You need to know how to break it down, clean it, reassemble it, and shoot it. You need to know how to reload it, and know what it feels like to shoot it. They have some kick, especially if you are not prepared for it. I grew up shooting hunting rifles. My father was an instructor with Hunter Safety. I get all kinds of OCD when I see someone mishandling a gun. It was just recently that I got a pistol. I have taken my son to go shooting at an indoor range, so we both are familiar with it. I don't know if I have the fortitude & patience to train my husband. He is from the Chicago projects and lost his oldest brother in an accidental shooting. He has never shot a gun of any kind in his life. He would need a lot of training.
And the sad part is, I just watched a video couple days ago where a drone was flying over a guys house for about 10-15 minutes. He shot it down and he got arrested saying he couldn’t shoot within town limits.
I used to work for an insurance company and when people file claims for storm damage to their roof or property, we have to have PERMISSION to if it’s ok to use a drone to take pictures of the roof so our adjusters don’t have to climb up there. If the owner said no, we have have to honor that.
I'm pretty sure ( at least in my state) the drone cannot be flown out of site of the operator. These things are down right obnoxious. We used to smoke on the roof of the building I worked at and those things were flying all over the city daily and even at night. I'm sure the operators were sitting in a parking garage 5 blocks away
I don't doubt that's your experience, but there are a lot of people with insurance being canceled due to serreptitious aerial surveillance by the insurance companies.
What's most important is that a female gets an advantage over a male so she can lord it over him as another win for her side against toxic masculinity, since masculinity is all toxic.
You have all those videos of people doing what they call audits and filming in public areas like sidewalks and even inside police stations and such claiming they are doing a First Amendment exercise, they just film everything and anything. There are so many channels of knuckleheads who like to film from sidewalks and then the police will come and argue, I hope that these jerks using drones become a thing for these first amendment auditors
I really like the way the officer said that it was a massive violation of privacy and then it being illegal second. That shows he is an empathetic policeman as he thinks of people and their worries first.
@@countryaqua29exactly! My first thought was that it was probably a police drone. Where we used to live they are used all the time. I have a few friends that are detectives in that state and it’s not a secret. Just like they can easily listen to people talking in a house from across the street.
That's silly. Actual violations of privacy are illegal. You Jedi mind tricked yourself into believing two statements that are fundamentally the same statement somehow make this officer empathetic. In this day and age, it is your best bet to never assume the police is on your side and allow them to pleasantly surprise you.

Insurance companies are using drones to view property that is not accessible. They do this to check for "hazards" that will allow them to either cancel policies, or raise rates. Obviously, this is not an insurance company. But it is interesting social commentary. Creepy when a perp does it, but business when an unregulated insurance or tech corporation does it.
This happened to my parents in CA. Turned out to be the home insurance company attempting to drop them. They made some changes and after a lot of back and forth and update photos, they were able to keep their homeowners insurance. I am sorry for other families in CA who haven't been as lucky.
That's a gross invasion of privacy and illegal. They should get a lawyer and a different company. They can't afford drones if they don't have a company!!
We didn't see the drone but we received the pictures in the mail from our homeowner insurance along with "call this number and have the guy do the needed work to your roof or you'll be dropped". We immediately thought it was a scam. Called the insurance company and it was for real. They flew a drone over our house and said comply with our evaluation or you'll be dropped. Paid $700 to have the roof pressure washed. I still feel the whole thing was anti American. Feels more like getting everyone used to COMPLY OR ELSE!
That's illegal. That's not anywhere in your policy that gives them the right to this. They are supposed to send an inspector. An inspector, at this point still, is NOT drone. A drone is only a piece of requirement. READ YOUR POLICY
Obviously an inspector was the one piloting the drone... but I've never heard of an insurance company requiring someone to pressure wash a roof. It's actually really bad for most roofs.
Same thing happened with CB radios years ago. The FCC lost control decades ago. Now you can't even listen to one, let alone get real directions to your destination. The air waves are filled with assholes. Yes there is mobile apps to help, but those aren't reliable either 😕.
Unfortunately, there have been cases of people taking out drnes that were invading their privacy and they were charged instead of the operator. This has to be stopped.
There are some non-lethal anti-drome devices out there. Try a Radio Frequency Jammer. Similar to a Cell phone jammer but not illegal, or Radio-controlled plane that knocks it out of the air. Net canons work well but are expensive. Most drones propellors are easily damaged, so it doesn't take much to bring them down. Just most guns are going to get you in more trouble than whoever is flying it.
Yeah, a lot of drone pilots especially new ones are just plotting courses or picture points. That’s why they hover. If this isn’t nefarious human then definitely get them but likely it’s an inexperienced pilot that’s learning the literal ropes. They’re not super easy to fly and they have these preordained spots, you can set up prior to taking a shot, you’ll spend a whole battery setting up a multiple spot shot and then return with a second battery minutes later to actually take the shot. People like sweeping variable altitude shots of quaint towns. If he’s a pervert, then lock them up.🏴☠️
I was sunbathing & one flew over the back of the property. There is no way a man can be in my house & not respond accordingly. My hubby googled the law & the next time it flew over, he shot it down over our acerage. Expensive lessons need to be taught.
You going to shoot down airplanes and helicopters too? It's a Federal felony to shoot at a drone. You don't own the airspace above your house. I'm not saying that somebody should be invading your privacy, but for all you know, that drone could've been inspecting power lines or it could belong to your police department and they could have been looking for a criminal.
@@jerrodlopes186If it's your home or your property, you do own the airspace, at least in Texas, planes or drones that fly over someone's property and take pictures Without consent, the owner or operators of such devises are liable.

It should be required that a identifying label should be visible from the flying height. So we can just take a picture and report it just like a vehicle license plate.
As of late last year, drones are required to have electronic remote ID. (mostly, certainly hobby drones). While it will take some time for this to affect all drones (older ones still fly illegally), any cases like this can be referred to the drone register and the owner found.
I don't think you would have luck in court with the trespass charge. Drones are governed by the FAA, but you could civilly sue the operator for stalking. While it is morally reprehensible to spy on people, and I certainly wouldn't condone it. I'm not sure there is any crime against looking through a readily transparent window. Otherwise, the neighbors across the street could be charged for looking out there's when your curtains are open.
Drones on private property should be legal fodder for a 12GA. Period. That the drone operator can sue for damages (at least in my State) is preposterous.
FAA laws and self defense laws (in the case of your shot endangering another person) would be bigger legal problems. Their ammo coming back at you might be a problem too.
@@jasonschannel9017 A 12GA shotgun fired into the air (assuming no helicopters hovering behind the drone) can not harm anyone with birdshot falling to the ground. Not enough mass. And most consumer-grade drones that I'm aware of don't have any ordinance to bring to bear on anyone. The FAA never thought they'd have to plan for these types of "airspace contingencies" and they are very slow to react to this clear invasion of privacy.
You Know! If this happened to a family or couple sitting on their porch in Texas, the drone would become toast and never heard from again. "Don't Mess with Texas folks".

I am actually an FAA certified pilot of drones. And this officer is wrong. Airspace is not trespassing. Because nobody in public owns or controls airspace. And anything that can be seen from the outside, inside of a home or structure is not considered a law violation. So they couldn’t charge the person with trespassing or invasion of privacy. It would take the FAA pressing charges, since they control the airspace. That being said, there is potential violations under the FAA drone flight rules. And somebody realistically could use something to knock it out of the sky, potentially a rock, sling shot, ect.. Don’t use firearms! That is a good way to get yourself charged for discharging a firearm within city limits. Even something like a roll of toilet paper with a long tail behind it, if it hits the propellers will take the drone down. Then, the owner is required by law to have identification markers on it to ID the owner. Such as FAA registration numbers. People like this 🤡 flying this, ruin things for everyone. It is always the bad actors who make the rest of us lose our rights.
As an FAA certified drone pilot you would know there is a difference between flying over a neighborhood and peering through a window. Most people would assume that they are secure from someone peeping through a 2nd floor window unless the person used a ladder or drone to do so in which case it is trespassing. Flying over a house at 100 feet is one thing. Hovering at window elevation is something else entirely. The penalty should be exactly the same as if you entered the yard, put a ladder against the wall and stood there looking in.
@@klpittman1 I don’t make the rules, so I am the wrong person for you to chime in on me, about this. My stance is exactly the same. Airspace is not owned. Look it up, if you have problems with the way airspace works, take it up with lawmakers. Yes, you aren’t supposed to be peeping into someone’s windows like a peeping tom. But anything that is viewable from outside is not considered trespassing. It would be the same as being able to see something from a low flying aircraft of some type that is big enough for people, that has clearance to fly. Be it some kind of balloon, hovercraft, helicopter, ect.. If you can see it from outside, it is not illegal.
A little harsh! Everyone always thinks everyone should be in prison but them.... We have turned into a Nation of crybabies and complainers instead of the free and the brave!
When drones are used to spy on homes, then the people have a right to complain, so your comment about this country being filled with cry babies was ridiculous and uncalled for.
Why can’t we get the law federally universal no matter what state or who’s house or business this effects make it clearly against the law knowing the drone can be caught and be destroyed at violated discretion. If I’d’d prosecution and fines should be universal
I have a drone but I always fly it high and get great pictures of the neighborhood and countryside. That doesn’t invade anybody’s privacy. These people who fly their drones in front of windows of high rise apartment windows are idiots who ruin it for the rest of us.
How about using a cross bow ? They're silent, very powerful and accurate . Use an arrow with a soft blunt tip and point upwards only . They have great red dot scopes for night 'fishing' . And I've seen some well made 'potato bazookas' that can be very accurate at close range . 🙂

The drone hid behind my chimney when I spotted it, but it took 15 minutes for the police to arrive, and it was gone by that time.

Those of us who fly drones for the right reasons (hobbie/work) stand against people that are using them for the wrong reasons. The privacy of others needs to be respected at all times and perpetrators need to be caught, they will ruin it for the rest of us.
Thats the same reasoning behind guns and the second amendment. The criminals don't care about the rules, they are going to break them anyways with whatever is the most effective tool for them. Taking away everyone's freedom with blanket laws not allowing them to even have certain items isn't the option when letting people defend their privacy and their lives lawfully without prosecution is the natural order our country was founded on. They should be able to safely dispatch that drone without fear of prosecution. Someone else's property committing a crime on your property becomes forfeit in my opinion.
The act of shooting down a drone can indeed be considered a crime. Under federal law, a drone is classified as an aircraft. Therefore, damaging, destroying, disabling, or wrecking a drone could result in federal criminal charges under 18 U.S.C. § 32, which deals with the destruction of aircraft or aircraft facilities.Jan 6, 2024
This happened to my daughter in law. A drone can not be closer than 50 feet above your house. luckily where we’re from, personal firearms are allowed. She shor the thing out of the sky. The person had the nerve to call the cops. They were told that what they were doing was illegal. You know how they have those invisible fences for dogs? They should have that for drones in the sky so that when a drone comes too close to your house it gets zapped.

Lots of people have gotten busted because of aerial footage from planes and drones. It most likely had no interest in you. The operator probably wasn't even aware that you came out of the house. People are so uninteresting from a drone pilots perspective
As a licensed drone operator, things like this are disturbing for a lot of reasons. First and foremost, it is against FAA regulations, but when people do that, it creates reasons for state, local, and federal laws to over-regulate drones.

Not all drone operators are jerks. These are the kind that give others a bad name, just like anything else in this world.
Drones can be used in a safe, non-invasive way, for flying over areas after a disaster to locate people who need rescuing, or even just to film the beauty of nature for others to enjoy who can’t visit these places.
My husband is a licensed drone operator with a pilot’s license & he’s very responsible on how & when he flies. It’s usually the “recreational” operators who don’t know the rules or just don’t care that ruin it for others, or worse, break the law like this.
And by the way, it’s a federal offense to shoot down a drone.
I think most people realize that drones are being abused by a select few. And I wouldnt condone just randomly shooting at a drone for flying over my home. In fact most States have either passed or are proposing Legislation to restrict use within a certain distance of private property without owner consent. But make no mistake, Federal law or not, if a drone is hovering in front of my kids bedroom window, it will be shot down. And chances are, authorities will go by the 'Spirit of the Law' as opposed to the 'Letter of the Law'.

Get proper training.
Welcome former Karen
If you have never shot a gun before, you really need to get proper training. You need to know how to break it down, clean it, reassemble it, and shoot it. You need to know how to reload it, and know what it feels like to shoot it. They have some kick, especially if you are not prepared for it.
I grew up shooting hunting rifles. My father was an instructor with Hunter Safety. I get all kinds of OCD when I see someone mishandling a gun.
It was just recently that I got a pistol. I have taken my son to go shooting at an indoor range, so we both are familiar with it. I don't know if I have the fortitude & patience to train my husband. He is from the Chicago projects and lost his oldest brother in an accidental shooting. He has never shot a gun of any kind in his life. He would need a lot of training.

I used to work for an insurance company and when people file claims for storm damage to their roof or property, we have to have PERMISSION to if it’s ok to use a drone to take pictures of the roof so our adjusters don’t have to climb up there. If the owner said no, we have have to honor that.
I'm pretty sure ( at least in my state) the drone cannot be flown out of site of the operator. These things are down right obnoxious. We used to smoke on the roof of the building I worked at and those things were flying all over the city daily and even at night. I'm sure the operators were sitting in a parking garage 5 blocks away
Permission. Key word.

Insurance companies are using drones to view property that is not accessible. They do this to check for "hazards" that will allow them to either cancel policies, or raise rates. Obviously, this is not an insurance company. But it is interesting social commentary. Creepy when a perp does it, but business when an unregulated insurance or tech corporation does it.
My first thought, definitely not someone just peeping. They’re looking for houses to rob.
Legislation should encourage everyone to apply for a permit or license to purchase a drone.
This happened to my parents in CA. Turned out to be the home insurance company attempting to drop them. They made some changes and after a lot of back and forth and update photos, they were able to keep their homeowners insurance. I am sorry for other families in CA who haven't been as lucky.

We didn't see the drone but we received the pictures in the mail from our homeowner insurance along with "call this number and have the guy do the needed work to your roof or you'll be dropped". We immediately thought it was a scam. Called the insurance company and it was for real. They flew a drone over our house and said comply with our evaluation or you'll be dropped. Paid $700 to have the roof pressure washed. I still feel the whole thing was anti American. Feels more like getting everyone used to COMPLY OR ELSE!
That's illegal. That's not anywhere in your policy that gives them the right to this. They are supposed to send an inspector. An inspector, at this point still, is NOT drone. A drone is only a piece of requirement. READ YOUR POLICY
Pressure wash your roof?? Never heard of that. I'd call around to see how common this is. Maybe switch companies.

There are some non-lethal anti-drome devices out there. Try a Radio Frequency Jammer. Similar to a Cell phone jammer but not illegal, or Radio-controlled plane that knocks it out of the air.

@@westcoastwaterman No, they wouldn’t. At most you would owe the money to repair the drone. If it’s on your property nobody is gonna care
Yeah, a lot of drone pilots especially new ones are just plotting courses or picture points. That’s why they hover. If this isn’t nefarious human then definitely get them but likely it’s an inexperienced pilot that’s learning the literal ropes. They’re not super easy to fly and they have these preordained spots, you can set up prior to taking a shot, you’ll spend a whole battery setting up a multiple spot shot and then return with a second battery minutes later to actually take the shot. People like sweeping variable altitude shots of quaint towns. If he’s a pervert, then lock them up.🏴☠️

Drone IDs should be discoverable
They are
It should be required that a identifying label should be visible from the flying height. So we can just take a picture and report it just like a vehicle license plate.
As of late last year, drones are required to have electronic remote ID. (mostly, certainly hobby drones).
While it will take some time for this to affect all drones (older ones still fly illegally), any cases like this can be referred to the drone register and the owner found.

@@dougaltolan3017 Who is going to know about this or be techy enough to respond to it?
I don't think you would have luck in court with the trespass charge. Drones are governed by the FAA, but you could civilly sue the operator for stalking. While it is morally reprehensible to spy on people, and I certainly wouldn't condone it. I'm not sure there is any crime against looking through a readily transparent window. Otherwise, the neighbors across the street could be charged for looking out there's when your curtains are open.
I have my drone license imprinted and placed in my drone in all directions. All operators should be doing that!
Drones on private property should be legal fodder for a 12GA. Period. That the drone operator can sue for damages (at least in my State) is preposterous.
FAA laws and self defense laws (in the case of your shot endangering another person) would be bigger legal problems. Their ammo coming back at you might be a problem too.
@@jasonschannel9017 A 12GA shotgun fired into the air (assuming no helicopters hovering behind the drone) can not harm anyone with birdshot falling to the ground. Not enough mass. And most consumer-grade drones that I'm aware of don't have any ordinance to bring to bear on anyone. The FAA never thought they'd have to plan for these types of "airspace contingencies" and they are very slow to react to this clear invasion of privacy.
It's a federal offense. When you get your license to fly a drone, they compare a drone to a helicopter as far as governing laws go.
How can they sue for damages if they flew the drone into private property?
its a 250k fine, an the faa WILL defer to the DOJ. its illegal to discharge or willingly damage an aircraft and the FAA has included drones.

@@kapwns My thoughts exactly. and why not in a nicer neighborhood?
I am actually an FAA certified pilot of drones. And this officer is wrong. Airspace is not trespassing. Because nobody in public owns or controls airspace. And anything that can be seen from the outside, inside of a home or structure is not considered a law violation. So they couldn’t charge the person with trespassing or invasion of privacy. It would take the FAA pressing charges, since they control the airspace.
That being said, there is potential violations under the FAA drone flight rules. And somebody realistically could use something to knock it out of the sky, potentially a rock, sling shot, ect.. Don’t use firearms! That is a good way to get yourself charged for discharging a firearm within city limits.
Even something like a roll of toilet paper with a long tail behind it, if it hits the propellers will take the drone down. Then, the owner is required by law to have identification markers on it to ID the owner. Such as FAA registration numbers.
People like this 🤡 flying this, ruin things for everyone. It is always the bad actors who make the rest of us lose our rights.
As an FAA certified drone pilot you would know there is a difference between flying over a neighborhood and peering through a window. Most people would assume that they are secure from someone peeping through a 2nd floor window unless the person used a ladder or drone to do so in which case it is trespassing. Flying over a house at 100 feet is one thing. Hovering at window elevation is something else entirely. The penalty should be exactly the same as if you entered the yard, put a ladder against the wall and stood there looking in.
@@klpittman1 I don’t make the rules, so I am the wrong person for you to chime in on me, about this. My stance is exactly the same. Airspace is not owned. Look it up, if you have problems with the way airspace works, take it up with lawmakers. Yes, you aren’t supposed to be peeping into someone’s windows like a peeping tom. But anything that is viewable from outside is not considered trespassing. It would be the same as being able to see something from a low flying aircraft of some type that is big enough for people, that has clearance to fly. Be it some kind of balloon, hovercraft, helicopter, ect.. If you can see it from outside, it is not illegal.

Well you're safe if you're not peeping inside someone's windows
Is there such a thing?
That's how it is with everything
Those exist? Have never heard of such
Just like responsible gun owners. Criminals ruin it for us too!!
Those of us who fly drones for the right reasons (hobbie/work) stand against people that are using them for the wrong reasons. The privacy of others needs to be respected at all times and perpetrators need to be caught, they will ruin it for the rest of us.
The people using them for the wrong reasons are the police and government. Stories like this get people riled up over nothing.
Exactly what I was thinking
Thats the same reasoning behind guns and the second amendment. The criminals don't care about the rules, they are going to break them anyways with whatever is the most effective tool for them. Taking away everyone's freedom with blanket laws not allowing them to even have certain items isn't the option when letting people defend their privacy and their lives lawfully without prosecution is the natural order our country was founded on. They should be able to safely dispatch that drone without fear of prosecution. Someone else's property committing a crime on your property becomes forfeit in my opinion.
The government ruins it for the rest of us.

A Drone: *goes brrrrrr
Shotgun: *BOOM!
Drone:
The act of shooting down a drone can indeed be considered a crime. Under federal law, a drone is classified as an aircraft. Therefore, damaging, destroying, disabling, or wrecking a drone could result in federal criminal charges under 18 U.S.C. § 32, which deals with the destruction of aircraft or aircraft facilities.Jan 6, 2024
You forgot the CLICK-CLICK before the BOOM!
@@JettBlast The timing is interesting.
@@JettBlast
That law is *superceded* by the "trespassing and surveillance" law
• stay off my property
• do Not spy on me
... else...
click click BOOM
@@Galen-864
I keep mine loaded and ready,
To save time
The click-click part is already done;
Its just BOOM now
What these people can afford a drone but cant afford a computer with Pornhub?
This happened to my daughter in law. A drone can not be closer than 50 feet above your house. luckily where we’re from, personal firearms are allowed. She shor the thing out of the sky. The person had the nerve to call the cops. They were told that what they were doing was illegal. You know how they have those invisible fences for dogs? They should have that for drones in the sky so that when a drone comes too close to your house it gets zapped.
It is illegal to shoot down a drone...

It got zapped with lead!
@@user-ii9vd1qw9t not if flying illegally in peoples backyards
@@mickvonbornemann3824flying above people's property isnt illegal, when you buy land you dont own the sky hundreds of feet above. Its a gray line, but you can call it trespassing if the drone is just hovering extremely low
@@jon_espi10 well unless they’re low, shotguns aren’t going to do much harm, unless the drones are quite unlucky.
Those drones have a hard time flying with an arrow stuck in them.

2015: A father in Bullitt County, KY shot down a drone, owned by a neighbor and valued at $2500, that was hovering over his property were his girls were in the backyard and other neighbors property. He fired a shotgun at the drone and was later arrested when police were called but the charges were later dismissed as was the lawsuit brought by the drone owner.
And why didn’t the police use the remote ID function 🤷♂️ to track the drone operator down!
This kind of thing is what motivates me to have blinds on my windows and in recent years, curtains.
Years ago I came outside and hearing an odd buzzing sound. I looked up and there was a drone about 12’ up from the ground. It quickly fled. Unsure what it was, but never returned. My husband was a “compassionate farmer” and had about 8 plants growing back there.
Lots of people have gotten busted because of aerial footage from planes and drones. It most likely had no interest in you. The operator probably wasn't even aware that you came out of the house. People are so uninteresting from a drone pilots perspective
Spying ? Casing the house? A 12 gadget pump to bring it down.

LADIES keep up your skills
@@agapelove2853 i love my mossberg
go go gadget 12
Maybe drones should be registered and large numbers painted on the bottom for easy recognition?
This is when the second amendment comes in handy
👍👍💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸
Probably just kids!
@@glendaruff125
But not kids inside the drone
@@glendaruff125then the kids need to learn not to cross the line in invading peoples property. I see this, I’m going to take it down.
@@glendaruff125that makes it ok? Looking into people’s homes?

" What's going on?....who's Annette?"

Either invasion of privacy or something looking for stuff to steal.
Glad the police are taking it seriously.
As a licensed drone operator, things like this are disturbing for a lot of reasons. First and foremost, it is against FAA regulations, but when people do that, it creates reasons for state, local, and federal laws to over-regulate drones.
Your license is a joke, and you’re part of the problem.
@@adog7787 Why would I be butthurt when I’ve rejected your homosexual advances?
Ban drones if you ask me.
@@CamMoralesFinance That would work as well as banning birds would.
@@Hornet135birds aren't real.
When a police officer starts talking about something invading the rights and privacies of civilians.. you know they're up to no good..
Plenty of drones where I live, some of them are really big, they all belong to the police.
Feds
It is a peeping tom, without a search warrant from law enforcement signed by a judge to make it legal. Anyone else doing that is a peeping tom. Find them and prosecute them. If I saw this and found that person outside my granddaughter's bedroom trust me he would not live to make it to court
I was waiting for this comment. If a peeping tom got caught looking through someone's windows, they would be arrested. This is so creepy.
I mean, as long as you don't SEE me outside your grand daughters window, you'll never know it was me....
... allegedly.
Same. 👍 👍
Really crazy that's been happening around here 😳 😕 😐
"I've never seen a drone, I feared for my life" is the only sentence you need for safely shooting down a drone.
If it’s in a neighborhood you probably couldn’t shoot it down without getting in trouble.
@zaccampa4055 "safely", you can open carry AND defend your right to life, "safely". Your comment was expected though, as this is the internet and people only read the words they want to hear.
@@T95s_ Okay well you go ahead and shoot down a drone with a neighbor’s kitchen window right behind it and see what happens lol
A camera drone isn’t a threat to life so your point doesn’t really apply to that does it?
I conceal carry every single day and am well educated on the laws.
@@T95s_ The whole “I’ve never seen a drone before, I feared for my life” line isn’t going to hold up in court if a child was accidentally hit while they shot at the drone. That’s my point.
@@zaccampa4055 it would 100% hold up in court AS I WITNESSED THE CASE LMFAOOO. It's will always be up to the judge AND the attorney you've got.
Are there no shotguns in Utah? No pellet rifles? No paint guns? No sling shots? No green Lasers? No well thrown baseballs?
Discharge of shotgun in city limits is an arrestable offense even In Utah. There are more guns in Utah than people and pets
1) What goes up, must come down. Bullets, pellets paintballs
2) Most people aren't as talented at shooting as they think.
3) How do you sneak up on a deone pilot, watching you go get your gun😂😉
@@sixfigureskibum Better to be in trouble with the law over a misdemeanor than to have yourself or your loved ones assaulted, kidnapped, raped, robbed or murdered.
@@Alvan81 You have to be quick, Alvan
Ah, a paint gun. Great idea.
You could legally defend yourself. Thats a form of assault.
Hogwash. It's no more a threat than someone standing on the street in front of your house taking pictures. It's perfectly legal. It's visible by the public.
@@RichardChappell1
Not the same, and you know it
No its not sweetie.
@@RichardChappell1 Oh, so if someone hops your fence, walks into your backyard and stares at you through the window, you'll let it slide with the same attitude?
@Almora-gp3hs y'all ain't gonna do nothing. Puhleeez.
And you don’t think police officers don’t violate your privacy go to the ATF and so on
Their trying to see what what you got in your home, to possibly see if it’s worth burglarizing or home invasion keep ur curtains closed
“They’re” trying . . .
Or it could be a couple young boys at that age where they are trying to get a peek at you know what....I can't believe the skies aren't full of them in big cities!
@@jerryleroy9187 That's what I thought. Just an old-fashioned Peeping Tom with modern technology.
Exactly close your curtains
