What can you do about it exactly?
I saw the thread about a drone... And well dammit...I might have kids playing the backyard or the wife my be laying out... and God knows...no one wants to see my wife laying out...so what can I do about the damn plane that is hovering over my yard? |

If an airplane is hovering above my property, I'm calling Fox Mulder.
|
|
|
I assume it is an Osprey?
If so, I would wonder what the Marines want with me????? |
|
What if a guy on a hill is watching your wife in the backyard with a zoom lense or 12x binos? Will you shoot at him?

You DID bring back a ZSU-23-4 from your trips to the mideast....right?

Is it a Harrier, or is it some hotshot pilot able to balance his plane pointed straight up and maintaining altitude?

You unholster your .22 CCW that you don't consider safe and chamber a round just in case.....

If the airplane is hovering then the winds are like 60mph and you'll be doing some fence building too.

He better be 500' AGL, if he's under that get the tail number and call it in to the FAA (and local military flight ops if it's a military craft). |

FAA has regulations about how low you can fly over buildings or crowded areas, yes even in a helicopter. The OP is asking about hovering over their house, hence a building. It's been a number of years, but we had similar restrictions for our UH-1s when not in approved training areas. |

Our local SD has a plane with IR and cams on it. When it is orbiting, it will be high enough that you won't notice it.

It's not a 'you get a pass do what you want' clause more like an exception for doing specified helicopter work or landing on a building's helipad. |

The state of Texas is using drones to fly over their cities and conduct surveillance and intercept phone calls. Have been for years ... not many news stories of them getting shot down strangely enough.
"The Texas Privacy Act makes it a misdemeanor to use aerial drones to film any person or private property "with the intent to conduct surveillance," but it also carves out a whopping 40 exemptions. According to the bill's text, law enforcement officers will have wide authority to use surveillance drones both with and without a warrant, in order to investigate crime scenes or pursue individuals when police have "reasonable suspicion" that they have committed a crime — among a host of other circumstances. The bill also has exemptions for oil and electrical companies, real estate agents using drones for "marketing purposes," educational institutions, and areas within 25 miles of the Mexican border." You can film something from sidewalk legally but if you fly a drone and video the same thing it's a crime. |
