Ha! So it's not just the US?! Filming someone without consent, certainly would be a civil offence if they pressed charges, flying over.. certainly not a crime, certainly a point of contention. Shooting at the drone? Certainly criminal... I understand that laws may differ, but perhaps u can find a lawyer that will look into your case for free? This could be an interesting case to set precedence on some things.... But then again, once you touch a lawyer.. anyhow, I think, if someone shot my drone, I'd consider taking legal action...
People need to get a grip, and realize nobody gives a S*T about watching them, we rarely fly and film straight down, if we happen to fly or even hover over someone's house, location, vicinity, we just happened to be looking at something in the distance, that just required that point of view... gosh! People are such morons sometimes! But, by gosh, they will defend what's theirs, even if they are not certain what the heck it is....
I've heard "If I only had a shotgun" while flying over some natural areas... where it's also illegal to discharge a weapon.. unless of course in self defence, which naturally would have been warranted in the case of a drone 100+ ft above.... (can u tell this topic aggravates me?!)
Good luck! |
