How can you tell from the ground who is whom?
What?
Are you suggesting that normal sighted people don't know what a drone flying on their property looks like?
No, I'm asking how you can tell the difference between an asshole with a $2,000 toy and a real estate agent or claims adjuster doing an inspection.

Why, Irving....are we cross or something? Dude, you brought up kites and estes rockets, and now you're asking me this. You actually wondered if myself or one of my neighbors could tell the difference between a drone...…..or a kite or an estes rocket, and then equated a toy VS commercial drone usage.Quote:

Nope. I made a joke about kites and rockets. You suggested that a real estate drone would be okay. How can you tell the difference? A real estate agent is photographing a house before it ever hits the market so you wouldn't know it was for sale. I inspect damage from hail storms that happened years ago. I'll be inspecting roofs damaged by the May 8, 2017 storm for years to come. When you look at a quad copter, how do you tell which way it is facing? How do you tell which way the camera is facing? How do you tell if the camera is on? How do you tell if it has a camera at all? A drone with a 4k camera could read over your shoulder through your window from a block away, or see you standing in a window from probably a mile away. Why would anyone that is looking at you or your property be right on top of you? How long do you imagine a drone hanging around? How many actual drones have you seen operating in the wild? I've seen exactly two. Both were traveling at least 20 mph in a straight line and were clearly on the way some where. Even if you were waiting with a loaded auto shotgun in the crook of your arm, you'd have hit neither. Not even close. Where exactly is all the paranoia coming from?
I'll reiterate... anyone selling in my neighborhood wouldn't be secret. Anyone with damage from a severe storm would mean all of us have the same damage. I tried to differentiate those circumstances. It's still real if I say it three times, I love ya man, I mean that too.
I'll concede that if I see a drone "somewhere near my domain" for a short period of time ONCE. You're good I suppose. I guess the hang up here is your impression of zero tolerance, and what I was trying to suggest of some asshat flying crap around your house or property just for fun.
Looks like we both win if we see it the way I think is going on.
