Hostile activities could be interpreted as lawful use of deadly force. Just because one is not harassing you personally, but by remote activity using a QUAD COPTER doesn't mean you have to sit on your hands and take it. Well maybe someone like yourself does. You call the cops and wait.Quote:

I hear somewhat frequent stories about construction crews stealing stuff from neighborhoods in which they are working. Probably a pretty good idea.
It's legit, my neighborhood has had my neighbor across the street have his jeep stolen, 2 stolen vehicles found by cops on job sites, 1 stolen car found in a new build garage during a walk through before closing, not mention petty stuff. They've been bold enough to go into my neighbors back yard to fill up their water jugs.

An angry Long Island man pulled a Clint Eastwood on a drone that was hovering over his St. James property, allegedly using his shotgun to blast the high-flying gadget out of the sky, police said Sunday.Gerard Chasteen, 26, allegedly fired off three shells at the Mavic 2 Zoom drone, which was soaring around looking for a missing dog named Dezie at 4:45 p.m. Saturday, cops said.Not far away, the drone operators, Lynn Fodale and Teddy Henn, who volunteer with the pet-finding group Missing Angels Long Island, were puzzled when the gizmo suddenly went dead.?Within minutes, Teddy said to me, ?I think a bird took out our drone,?? Fodale recalled to The Post on Sunday.
As the pair followed the drone?s flight path to the last place its GPS pinged, they met a man who told them it had been shot down and pointed them to Chasteen?s house, Fodale said.
When they met the sharpshooter, he immediately copped to downing the $2,000 drone ? simply because he didn?t like it passing through his air space, according to Fodale.
?Did you shoot down our drone?? Fodale asked.
?Yeah, you can?t fly over my house,? Chasteen fired back, according to Fodale.
She and Henn then called Suffolk County police, who hit Chasteen with a field appearance ticket for charges of third-degree criminal mischief and prohibited use of a weapon.
He will appear in county court for his arraignment at a later date.
Authorities also seized multiple shotguns from the home.
Chasteen gave a Post reporter only a slightly less unfriendly greeting than he allegedly gave the drone, when he was asked for comment while walking his own two dogs on Sunday.
?I would take off,? he said.
However, man who identified himself as Chasteen?s father tried to defend the family by saying they were sympathetic to Missing Angels? goal.
?Listen, we?re dog lovers ourselves,? said the man, who declined to give his name. ?We have two dogs and they?re duck hunters.?
?It?s just that the drone was flying over, and,? he offered, before trailing off. ?That?s it.?
He then said the family would ?absolutely not? be making any additional comment, and booted reporters off the property.
About 50 yards from the home, a pair of lost-dog posters bearing Dezie?s photo were stapled to a pole.
Fodale and Henn said they showed cops a map of the drone?s flight records, which illustrate that the gadget never flew over Chasteen?s home.
Rather, they said, the rarely-used drone was helping them get an aerial view over a mile-long drainage ditch by a shuttered concrete company where Dezie was last seen.
A lot of question marks in that post. just sayin...
I don't think that there would be much of a discussion if a drone crashed in my yard. You own a drone? It crashed? Cool story brah. No, you can't trespass to look for your alleged drone.
If Hornady can sell zombie ammo Im sure the drone ammo will come along shortly.
It's fair for me to say that if you were flying a drone around my property, I'd have a real attitude problem with that. I would find an effective non firearms way to trash your 2K investment into a pile of broken shit.
Why the attitude? What if someone was flying a kite near your property, or an estes rocket?
