Woman Downs Neighbor’s Drone With Gravel, Ordered To Pay $600

[@ItsCrayon]

Wow she says it was like a weed wacker coming at her when it was her that went outside and threw a rock at it

[@carlose6010]

Its Crayon It didn't even sway towards her.. hopefully it was a cheaper repair then quoted. :)

[@sirjgn4868]

Pedo? Lol what the hell?! Are a few screws loose in your head man? Are you serious? He bought the drone for fun, and was flying it when some crackpot senile woman threw a rock at it. He wasn't hurting anyone. The drone flew *close* to her. Take note that he had no intention of going near her given that they were feuding. It just happened to pass around her area as he was landing. If she felt uncomfortable she could have told him and not throw a rock. Were not savages! Im wondering who is the real "fucktard" here, your calling him a pedo when he has a family and the woman is clearly older than him?! -___- Lets call all the grown men in the Army who fly drones pedos right? and the FBI/CIA perverts for having access to surveillance tech? Fuck it, lets call everyone with a drone and/or camera a sex offender right?!

[@sirjgn4868]

So what if he wants to have fun with it? You really aren't making any sense. There are grown men who film themselves doing stupid shit for children, your point is? The drone *PASSED* the property he wasn't there to hover around and spy at his neighbor. She should have told him politely to fuck off, rather than wreck something he payed for. Please tell me you aren't being serious

[@KRich408]

Lol yea she should try throwing rocks at jets better yet military aircraft she learn real fast who owns the air above her! Heck in PA very few people even own the ground under their homes 99% of it’s owned by some mining company I owned a few homes in Pa and non of them had the mineral rights included! She most likely owns a few feet of the earth she stands on but past that somebody can dig all kinds of tunnels under her house and throw big parties down there ! If they find something besides coal maybe gold or something else valuable you can be sure they will be digging under her!

[@stonewall-mz7yl]

So you are ok with me flying a drone directly over YOUR property at low altitude near powerlines? With a camera pointed at your windows? Your backyard? So let me ask? Do you have a girlfriend? Kids? Are they ever naked? You see what I am getting at here? Your sarcasm and snark is kind of ignoring the point here. This guy should have been more responsible with filming. And this woman was not very smart for not using the film angle and she should sue his ass for filming her without consent. You have a reasonable expectation of privacy on your own land. Your own home. She has a privacy fence does she not?

I have 0 issues with that! I don't care when planes or Helicopters fly over my house they are doing just that flying over my house ! Now Google, Bing and the government both local and international (allies and enemies) have satellites with cameras that can count the hair on your head if you still have any?

[@Keepskatin]

@DoggydDogg Your grammar is poor and so are your morals. Obviously you are very immature , naive, and wicked. Neighbors can be very mischievous when they are in dispute, I know because I'm an adult with real world experience. As for your comments about burning innocent women,that is a devilish lie. No religion of Jesus Christ practices harming any innocent person. Anyone who has killed anyone who speaks against the church are not true followers of the Lord. You speaking against God, or the church only places judgment upon yourself. Blasphemy against a church is forgivable, blasphemy against any man is forgivable, but never will you be forgiven if you speak against God. Many White KKK members claimed to be Christians, yet their actions, and hatred of Blacks proved they were not true Christians. Remember the Devil goes to church too, so do wicked deceitful people. You lack knowledge, and understanding. I place the majority of the blame on your parental guardians. A corrupt child is the result of corrupt parenting. A corrupt child that does not get proper parenting will grow to be a corrupt adult and the cycle continues.

[@condew6103]

Another woman exaggerates the "danger"; or, to put it bluntly, she destroyed private property and then lied to police. Joke's on her, it's all on video. There's another video around here where the woman tried to steal the drone, got caught, and then lied to police about how she was endangered; again the video proved she was a liar. How many liars are going to get caught this way before they stop? Perhaps the answer is to prosecute them to the full extent of the law for destruction or theft. Too bad charges were dropped in this case.

[@kevincabral5787]

I ran into an issue 2 months ago where a woman tried to say I wasn't 'allowed' to fly in a public park. She walked up to a parked police cruiser and told them she felt I was invading her privacy. The police officer told me what she said to him and I chuckled. He even shook his head and said she was over paranoid. He had no issue with me flying in the park as long as I wasn't flying over people's heads and being reckless. The real problem is people are very miss informed regarding drones. They look at it as spying tools when in fact you need to fly real close to a subject to make out what they're doing. As for me though, I even told the officer if I had another battery, I would of brought my Inspire 1 back up in the air. The lady seemed upset when she left. Most likely because the police did nothing to stop me. It seems this old lady in the video is no different. Miss informed and must be bored with her life. If that drone fell and hurt someone because of her, she would be charged.

Javier Hernandez: " Improper photo and video without concent is illegal and a felony, think again idiot" Impressive. Every word in that sentence was wrong. Not many people can be as wrong as you just proved yourself to be...but here we are. In America, the courts and the law disagree with your view of how things should be as *public photography is a First Amendment Protected Activity.* US Supreme Court cases, Kyllo v. United States and Boyd v. United States affirmed the English Common Law of *"The Eyes Can Not Trespass"*. Laws and case rulings have repeatedly affirmed photographers' rights. The Supreme Court also has ruled in Katz v. United States you have no expectation of privacy if there is any way to see your home/backyard from a public street or sidewalk...or from above if someone is flying an aircraft. *Your discomfort doesn't trump other peoples' rights.* Put more directly, you have given up any expectation that you cannot be “observed or disturbed by other people” by virtue of entering a public space or being in a position where you can be seen by others from a public space, even in your back yard. *Photography is NOT a crime.*

[@BassManStrikes]

Someone wrote this as a comment: "What the danger is that many people are using them to look into you or your kids windows while they change at night. Most places have bans on flying them in residential neighborhoods or close to condo towers for that reason." How many of you leave your window blinds or drapes etc open when it gets dark, especially in your bedroom/bathroom ? Anyone? How many people that would even bother to spy on you would go to the trouble of buying a noisy drone and then park it close enough to see through the glare on the windows when they could silently walk up to your open no blinds/drapes windows at night and use the 4k zoom cell phone in their pocket? Even with GPS hold they move enough that it would likely hit the window and crash right next to the house. So for people writing these comments does what I said make even a tiny bit of sense to you? If this was anywhere remotely a common practice of peeping toms we would hear about it all the time. I watch local news every night and guess what no drones in the news ever....people putting cameras in bathrooms or locker rooms you hear about on the news, but NOT quadcopters spying on people. What makes comments like this even more stupid is these consumer quads only have a 20 to 30 minute flight time and 30 is really pushing the limits so the peeping tom would have to wait in front of these wide open viewing windows at night waiting for the home owners to start changing into their PJs. OMG the stupidity is astounding. The condo tower argument is absurd as well....guess what..people that are going to peep are ones living in the tower next door with the DSLR or telescope and you will never know the are taking your pictures, how the heck to you think Private investigators get pictures of cheaters? with noisy drones? or course not that would be stupid.....

A person has the legal right to photograph or film in a public space. There is no law that denies that right. I think it's more about being respectful. If someone asks you not to video or photograph them, the right thing to do is to respect that and not do it. Of course, if they are committing a crime or something that warrants being filmed, that may be a different story. The woman in this case, however, is an asshole. She's just a whiney bitch who didn't like a little noise in front of her house.

[@tylerz7489]

Joke is on her the no fly zone program doesn't include the makers of his drone 3DR. And what he was doing was completely legal.

[@Bipolar_Weasel]

@J acutally Tyler is correct. NoFlyZone.org is what the lady was talking about. There are articles and other interviews were she stated the website she registered her home with. Thing is, the NoFlyZone website is run by a private company and drone manufacturers must partner with the site to access the geofences that the site creates. The quad manufacturer 3DR does not partner with that website, so their drones to not see the 'geofences' NoFlyZone made. Even if 3DR did partner with NoFlyZone.org, the drone's owner could just turn on Altitude mode, which means he is flying the drone manually and GPS system doesn't control the drone. That makes the geofences useless. Or in other words, the lady wasted her time with that non-sense.

[@jimmoss1744]

Seriously. You get it? Sadly...it isn't just a hobby. These people can be very irresponsible with these. Imagine if someone was trying to point a video camera over your fence or into your windows? How comfortable would you be with that? How about if you are a firefighter fighting a wildfire in a remote region that requires aircraft and some guy decides that he should get some film footage of this cool wildfire for his youtube channel with his drone? You realize that shuts down the airspace for any potential aircraft assistance? Then you got guys like this flying around powerlines and so on. It isnt as simple as you are making it out to be.

[@stonewall-mz7yl]

So obviously you are a dipshit and there is no reasoning with you. You aren't smart enough to understand reasonable expectation of privacy. From now on...if I see a drone over or around my land filming anything that is not visible from the road...I shoot it down.

[@alb9022]

Wow, around your land huh.... Sure thing. You sure you're not talking about yourself? Lets look at a few details here. It only works 1 way with you - drone = shotgun, doesn't matter if it flies 1 yard outside your property line, and 150 yards up where it's too high for most current drones to film any one private quarters with sufficient detail (I'm not saying this isn't bad, of course not) and that's perfectly fine with you. Destruction of property is fine, no need to ask neighbor or stranger pilot to stop flying over your house plot. I'm not understanding privacy here, yet you'll shoot down this guy's drone even though the woman can barely be identified in the video because he's that high up. Forget the fact that he didn't plant the drone in her, or anyone elses' face alien facehugger style. Wildfire - yeah he shouldn't be flying. If he sees one, first thing he should do is pull down the drone..... but apparently you think that, simply because a wildfire can start, that all UAV hobby vehicles should simply be banned and shot down? I mean, how about we ban all motor vehicles because they can kill someone if a driver isn't in 100% ok condition to drive? Power lines is the only thing I can agree with on you about this, and that's obviously a huge safety concern... but you know, your hugely unreasonable argument points against the use of drones (seriously, shot gunning a drone isn't a risk to anyone else from stray pellets, no?) just invalidates anything you had to say imo. Destruction of property just tells me you only think one way while accusing others of 1 dimensional thinking. Shoot first, ask questions later.

[@sandman__1295]

the problem with that is the fact that its not regulated, most of those manufacturers don't even have gps in their products, and it's business that dont even represent a a large portion of the hobby. And, I quote this from the article you linked "Of course if an individual operator wants to ignore a geofence and guide their drone into a no-fly zone, it can probably do that". I fly drones as a hobby, and I'm not opposed to specific no fly zones for people who wish for more privacy. However, that doesn't exist yet, and people who think it does might be in for a nasty shock when they find out this website doesn't offer any real or legal protections.

Fear of the unknown is driving this and we need to do a better job a the tight knit community we are to educate the public before the lame stream media decides to.

[@imnotabotrlyimnot]

Educate people on what? Don't you think people have a right to be annoyed when others are flying cameras above their house, not to mention the possibility of these things breaking down and falling or just being operated in a dangerous manner. Btw, if the government is siding with drone flyers on this there is a reason, and that is to normalize these kinda of things flying around houses so when they start doing it, for much more nefarious purposes, people will just go along with it because they are used to it. What are you going to think of it when the government drone intrusion starts, not that it hasn't already, but they're only long distance at the moment, at least what's obvious.

"I registered my house as a no fly zone". that's great and anyone can do it but no one will enforce it. especially if its your next door neighbor who is flying the drone. they share the same airspace as you so doing that limits them to their yard and if you destroy their property "because it came close to my house" then you have no legal choice but to pay for either a new one or to have the old one repaired.

[@austinrutledge6484]

She is partially correct. There are private companies where you can register your property as a "no fly zone" and the software in some drones will honor that request. But it is not a legally binding registration and your house isn't a true no fly zone.

[@JandJfish]

I'm a drone owner. If I have a neighbor or anyone tell me they are 'uncomfortable' or do not want me to fly it around them, I certainly will not. It's called courtesy.

[@wilhard45]

So the two of them have been feuding for years? So why didn't he bring the drone in from the opposite direction? Did he fly it in front of her house to intentionally upset the woman? Overflying my house and backyard with your drone is not a very civil thing to do. I put a fence around my backyard for privacy. I am not concerned with jets overlying at 30,000 feet or even the police helicopter moving across while on patrol. I do not want some nosy neighbor flying their drone spying on my family in our backyard. You might think it is great fun but I don't. Your taking photos in public miss the fact that I do have a reasonable expectation of privacy in a fenced backyard. It is no different then you hovering your quadcopter in front of my daughter's bedroom window. If nothing else show a little respect for your neighbors. Keep it up and you are likely to find that flying those toys are banned from use in residential areas.

[@scottiemanners]

Are you licensed to pilot the drone with the FAA? One of the rules is not to fly above people, and you were above backyards and houses, sorry...but yeah still what a B**** destruction of property, you were technically above her gravel drive though and she has the right to protect her property by lethal force

[@jimziemer474]

It's true not to fly over people, such as an open assembly of people. However, there is nothing about flying over backyards or houses. It is legal to fly over buildings, and even people if they are under a covered structure. The whole point is that if there is a malfunction you can land/crash without undue hazard to people on the ground. If people are in their homes, there is no danger of that.

She was so scared of the drone that she walked outside and in a huge circle to be able to get close to it without being seen so she could throw rocks at it... WOW that is a lady that is really so "scared" that she is willing to throw rocks at it from close range increases the risk of it loosing control.

[@jbaker4900]

Where I live he was trespassing on all his neighbors. You own below and above, including air space, when it comes to privacy against these drones. I'm glad I don't live in that state.

[@mediamonitor980]

There is no state in the union that gives you ownership below the surface or the atmosphere above. Both are federally regulated by different agencies. There may be community bylaws or covenants concerning how high you can build or what you can build but legally speaking, the Feds own the airspace over your house - not you. There are laws however concerning the expectation of privacy. If someone is filming into your yard where you have the expectation of privacy they can be charged under those statutes. But prosecutors would have to prove intent - and that your yard is actually private and can't just be seen from the street.

[@jbaker4900]

Not true but okay. I know of a privately owned cave, toured by thousands. The owners above and below the surface. If you didn't own the property below you, the government would charge for well water. As far as air space. Concerning a drone owned by another flying over your property. They are trespassing in TN. I will shoot it down every time, if it hovering or making multiple pass overs. Manned aircraft are obviously permitted. Case law will soon follow the drone epidemic. I feel if your vantage point of my fenced yard changes. You have violated my expectation of privacy. Google and Bing do a great job of blurring embarrassing satellite imagery.

[@mediamonitor980]

+J Baker I'm afraid you are wrong. I am well educated in media law and the statutes concerning privacy. In the United States and Canada your "private property" consists of "surface rights". The resources below and above your property are considered part of the commons. A legal term. You are granted certain rights below where it comes to access to water - but this whole concept of surface rights is the major, well publicized point of contention in law. This concept is at the heart of the disputes between landowners and resource companies. In the sky - it's much less complicated. You simply don't own it. While we're on the topic - I don't recommend shooting down a drone. There is an expanding body of case law now that has established you would be guilty not just of being an asshole endangering the public - but of criminal mischief.

[@danioking5369]

Hey, numbskull. Watch the video

[@theof5645]

If it was close enough to be taken down with just some thrown gravel, it was too close.

[@danioking5369]

Yeah, I should just look for drones that are landing on somebody else’s property, chase them down, and down them. Since I chased them down, I got close enough to throw the gravel, and if I was close enough to do that, then it’s the pilots fault because they were too close! Review your flawed logic

[@Cybo-Man]

That is not the proper place to fly a quad. I am an FPV quad pilot. I only fly in large open areas away from people and property. These numbskulls that fly in residential areas are under the wrong assumption that it will fly perfectly. Or don't have any regard for others safety, and personal property. Brown outs happen, blades break midair, batteries fail, esc fail, Rx/Tx failure. The list goes on. I am aware of these things because I've educated myself and experienced them first hand. These people will ruin my hobby by being ignorant. He should've been fined. BTW, that lady was completely wrong to do this, and should've received a fine as well as the cost of repair. Also, the total cost of that quad would've been $600. Repairs would be quite a bit less.

[@cellblock776]

Did you watch the video? He was standing in his front yard bringing it down for a landing when she came out from under her car port and threw a rock at it. He wasn't "way too close" to her. He was about 10 feet agl and she was in her driveway next door. She was not in any danger. She's just a bitch with a grudge against her neighbor and did a bitchy thing to show him who is boss. Then she lied about it and the judge ruled against her because even the judge knew, after watching the video, that she was just being a bitch.

[@pootubedoodle9467]

cellblock776 This is a debate that clearly will not be settled in the court of public opinion. If you are close enough to someone elses property and their person that a 65 year old lady can hit and disable it with a driveway stone you are too close. The lady was not found criminally responsible. Her homeowners insurance caved and paid for his damages because it was cheaper for them than to fight it. These situations will only escalate until there is more legislation. The law has also changed since this incident. Recreational drones are not longer exempt from FAA registration and regulations. He is clearly in violation of current interpretations of what too close is.

[@JodyBruchon]

You didn't watch the video and have no idea what you're talking about, Mr. Internet Lawyer. "Close enough to her that she could knock it down with a small rock" - yeah, you know why it was that close? Because she walked over to it AND it was two feet from the ground because it was LANDING. But you can't do something as simple as watch the video, you have to swing your big meaty internet balls for all to see and end up looking like a jackass. Congratulations.

[@nemo227]

Drones, quad copters, RC planes, etc. should not be flown in residential areas. That's not difficult to understand.

[@nemo227]

You are correct. My perspective is that for several decades before quadcopters/drones there were thousands of R/C planes that flew in designated (safe) areas and caused very little problems. In my area on the Monterey Bay area there is a model plane airport along the river/farmland. It's been in operation for many years without incident. People fly their radio controlled planes/copters there and there is no accusation of spying on neighbors, no disturbing noise, little or no hazard to children or homeowners in case of malfunction.

[@optionalcoast7478]

[@nemo227]

Correct, Optionalcoast74. I don't live near a dragstrip but I can't use the public streets for racing. I can't use my back yard for pistol practice, no matter what safety features I install. There is this thing called freedom, liberty and there's another thing called being a good neighbor.

[@optionalcoast7478]

nemo227 and when people are hostile twords a large group people trying to enjoy a hobby and are making hard for them to do so by banning model aviation at parks and public spaces and damaging their property it is plain supperssion of freedom

[@nemo227]

Sadly, since the beginning of recorded history there have been some people telling other people what to do, how to do it, how to pray, how to speak, and sometimes even killing people who don't agree with them. On the other hand, I remember stopping at a local elementary school one weekend to watch people flying tethered model planes. This was before the prevalence of R/C planes. There was plenty of room, nice grass, people having fun and not too much noise for the residential area. Sometimes it takes just a few people to spoil things for responsible hobbyists who just want to enjoy their hobby without bothering anyone.

As a Radio operator I have several high antenna's over my home and I went to the county to check on putting them up first and that IS what they told me as long as the antenna are not higher than (I forget the height) but it is around 150 feet I believe. Anything higher must have a constant Flashing red light on top and FFA notified for low flying aircraft to take note of that location.

MrTron if my neighbor was staring at me in my yard from their yard I'd ask them what the fuck they doing.

[@thirtythree160]

She wasn't really aiming for the drone. The drone hit was an accident. She was actually throwing a rock at the guy flying the drone.

[@2KXMKR]

She's probably the type that spends most of her day standing in the corner of her window watching everyone go about their business and is so paranoid about the flying weed wacker spying on her that she had an episode and wanted to destroy it. Let's take in to account that for the entire 17 minute flight the drone owner and his family are all stood at the end of the drive way watching it. Instead of simply explaining that she doesn't like it or feel safe around it and asking politely not to fly it over or near her house and establishing a neighborly understanding, she decides instead to hide and waits for the chance to destroy someone else's expensive property. People like this are always insane and play innocent.

[@Mikeflycast]

All those big children should Keep their spy toys away of from other people. It is dangerous and people don't want to be filmed in the privacy of their homes and yards.

[@rayr1444]

Your yard is not private from the air and you do not own nor control the airspace above it. These "big children" have a perfectly legal right to fly in that airspace. Either build a giant dome over your property, hide in your basement or leave the country if you don't like it. Hey, here is an idea. How about you try to get along with your neighbors once?Oh...I can imagine that nobody wants to film your hairy ass anyway, believe me!

[@mediamonitor980]

+Ray R Right? Why do these idiots think they are so interesting that someone would want to spy anyways? Talk about self-flattery.

[@Didjeridoolove]

+Ray R you really need to learn faa regs about flying multi rotors /.... My god ...

[@sagew7377]

I'll fly where I please. I'll take action if my flying harms anyone, but I'm confident that won't happen. Want privacy in your homes and yards? Buy curtains.

[@RandomRandomnessKCMO]

You have absolutely zero expectation of privacy anywhere that you can be seen from a public place......

[@bearclaw7441]

Slingshot and ball bearing or marble, from a distance, would have done the trick and left no evidence. Easy way to rid your neighborhood of these pesky annoyances and quiet too!

[@redtvproductions1]

Anyone using one of those slingshots should be jailed. Very dangerous things. Imagine the amount of ball bearings getting around while you try and hit a drone...

[@gabrielsasala1875]

It's highly illegal. You can go to federal jail for it. Plus they aren't anywhere near as loud as a lawnmower

[@toddkarschner4293]

bear claw I'll send a couple at your head if you think your bad enough. Must not be though, you gotta hide. Fucking chicken shit!!

[@MisterCOM]

bear claw good luck hitting

[@seldomheard204]

That's super dangerous.

[@phillipdingle4801]

Flying a drone adjacent to his neighbours property what did he expect!!? It's not smart or safe, nevermind the legality issues, to fly a drone in a built up area over property and near people! Common sense!! Fly safe.

[@JodyBruchon]

It's actually quite safe; if the drone dropped out of the sky the worst that could happen is it hits someone in the head, but the chances of that are extremely low and even if it happened most drone bodies will break and dissipate some of the force if they slam into something as hard as a human skull. They're built light and are mostly hollow plastic shells. You'd suffer more damage if a 2-liter soda fell out of the sky instead.

[@matthewbernard4152]

You're a dumbass. The only illegal act was what she did. Thus why in court she was forced to pay and he's free to fly it still.

[@MrWizardjr9]

um at the very most being told by the neighbor not to fly it

[@CodeByNight]

He haven't done anything wrong. Your common sense has a damaged module or something.

[@mikeevans7560]

Phillip Dingle yet private planes and airliners do it constantly , and the parts are much bigger on those , he was enjoying a harmless hobby .

[@OnefastAZfarmtruck]

I like drones but I don't want them flying over my yard. They are super cool in places where there is no one to bother and no privacy is being invaded.

[@thenitruc8165]

I love living in the country

[@XxSinghSouljaxX]

lol remember the kid that attached a fully working gun to his??

[@lollofly22]

XxSinghSouljaxX FPSRussia? it was fake

[@immortalwolf6]

lollofly22 lol wut? I don't think a fake gun can shoot high velocity rifle ammunition.

[@toysoldier46552]

lollofly, actually no, that same kid was attacked by a female who got a slap on the wrist for flying his drone at a beach, he later invented a drone that could fire a pistol. That female should have been put in jail for her actions but was not, she got probation for assaulting a minor, probably because he flies drones and is a boy.

[@alolipa]

No respect for people privacy

[@SummonerOrthan]

There is no right to privacy in a PUBLIC place, he didn't fly it into her house and there for it is not illegal.

[@hi-nw7qy]

Oh nooo, he flew a drone in a public place. He's ruining the people privacy OUT-FUCKING-SIDE

[@tacomancer2772]

What privacy? Her front yard, and most of her backyard is visible from the road, and her backyard is fully visible from her next door neighbor's backyard, not to mention visible from any possible roads up that mountain behind them.

[@thirtythree160]

There is no privacy.

[@riveroak6720]

Do you know Snowden? Ok, then you know there is no privacy. Shut up. You just live in the illusion that you have privacy.

[@isabellajustice2910]

YES JUSTICE WHEN WILL PEOPLE LEARN THEY CAN'T DESTROY OTHER PEOPLE'S STUFF!?

[@LoowheezeBreeze]

What's most shocking about this story is that an old lady was able to hit a moving target with a rock from 10 feet away...

[@NaughtyKlaus]

$600 to repair a fan on a drone? That's ridiculous, those parts must be more expensive than they're worth.

[@fabianweber6937]

It's more dangerous to throw stones around the place than flying a drone 😠

[@LeeFred78]

I'm impressed that the 65 year old lady was able to hit a small, moving target with a rock!

[@atradies007]

Flying your drone over my house and near windows wins you beating....

[@bearbones9761]

BrillionRadio and wins you jail time.

[@daanm3869]

In my country, The Netherlands, it's illegal to fly above someone else's property, or above public zones.

[@trowland9575]

If we wanted to hear about the Netherlands, we'd a watched CNN's Don Lemon tell us about how it's gay pride day all year over there.

[@saur1232]

The woman felt unsafe, so instead of asking the owner to land it she makes it even more dangerous by crashing the drone and possibly killing someone on the way down.

[@monokendo]

lol yea at less than 3 feet from the ground can kill someone

[@harleyme3163]

posibly killing someone... LOL an OLD lady.. throwing.. exactly how far up you think this thing was? if she hit it with a rock it couldnt have been high enough to leave a bruise on the way down.

[@utoobuser101]

most people think this woman is in the wrong. I feel her pain. if the drone was no where near her property, how was she able to throw a rock at it and knock it down?

[@Brennan_the_smith]

utoobuser101 it was landing on the guys lawn right next to hers they are next door neighbor's

[@buxadonoff]

She probably thought the drone would throw some bombs in her house, like she hears on drone attacks in the news.

[@xavier_arthur]

You can register your house as a no-fly zone but drones don't walk they fly and as a result the airspace is a Fly Free Zone!

[@fred1382]

Why wasn't this guy charged with invasion of privacy beings the backyards of peoples homes are not open to the public and the video camera seeing into peoples homes?

[@justin76bmw]

I had a .40 size p51 mustang with a ported piped OS ball bearing .90 in it. I clipped a high voltage power line pulling out off a 175+mph power dive and it disintegrated, spraying onlookers with flaming wrekage and caused a regonal power outage. THAT'S is what i call dangerous..
