You have the fourth amendment in your country try that, also take a look at this article. https://www.wsj.com/articles/should-you-be-allowed-to-prevent-drones-from-flying-over-your-property-1463968981.
I didn't say you shouldn't fly over somebody's property I said you should ask permission, I think you showed earlier that you were flying in the mountains how many properties did you have to fly over to get there.
Many commercial pilots are allowed to fly in cities in controlled airspace, and lots of other places that hobbyists can't fly, with a proper SOP , when they are not flying commercially they are under the same restrictions as those who don't fly commercially,
You have the fourth amendment in your country try that
That's not how the constitution works.
For the 4th amendment to be broken, ALL of the following must take place:
- An intrusion must occur.
- GOVERNMENT must be doing the searching / seizure.
- Must be within in area that an individual has a reasonable expectation of privacy.
The question of "Does flying a drone above someone's property go against reasonable expectation of privacy" is certainly up for debate and depends on the circumstances such as the height and what you were doing. However, as I am not functioning as the government, there is clearly no violation of the 4th amendment.
Also, the constitution is not designed to be used against the people. You can't be given a citation or arrested for "Broke the 4th amendment". It is designed to limit the laws against the people. What would pertain to you is if there was a specific statute or code that said that flying over others property is illegal. As of now, there is none.
You may not want to ask permission to fly over people's property that's very much up to you.
If I planned on hovering or flying low multiple times I'd ask / let them know what I am doing. However, whenever I am flying over others property (every flight because I don't fly in a small box above my apartment) I am flying at 400' at 30 mph going from place to place near interesting locations. |
