A friend of mine who lives in a rural area said he observed a drone hovering over his house and property for several minutes. He knows of none of his distant adjacent land owners that would be doing this but it is logical it is a neighbor since he’s not in a subdivision.
He commented he thought some #3 goose loads from one of his 12 gauges might solve the problem but wasn’t sure what the legal ramifications might be for taking the drone down. Even though he indicated he would apply the three S rule (shoot, shovel, and shut up) he was afraid he still might run afoul of the authorities.
Do we own the airspace vertically above our own property ? If so, how far up ? Infinity ? Would right to privacy be a factor. Could the drone owner be cited for “trespassing ?”
Before my friend resorts to violence ( and after consulting an attorney or law enforcement ) I’m wondering what options he may have. Anyone experienced this issue before ?
