The one where the guy with the baseball bat beat the drone on public property? jberryhill Jul 2015 #199
Yeah. The one where our "legal experts" posited that one may film into a persons' home, Romulox Jul 2015 #234
Yeah, that's right jberryhill Jul 2015 #236
No. It's not. Invasion of privacy is not solely dependent on the location of the camera. nt Romulox Jul 2015 #249
You are entitled to believe that jberryhill Jul 2015 #276
It's simply a fact. You want to muddy the waters, of course. Romulox Jul 2015 #285

Firing a weapon at an aircraft is against federal law. He fired at a remote-controlled aircraft. jeff47 Jul 2015 #271
Not sure if it qualifies as an 'aircraft' but point taken. randome Jul 2015 #296
Nope, the FAA rules start at the end of whatever is attached to the ground. jeff47 Jul 2015 #298
So, theoretically, a drone could hover right in front of your face and legally you could do nothing. randome Jul 2015 #300
If it's close enough, you might be able to claim self-defense. jeff47 Jul 2015 #303
