It depends on the state. Some of them have stricter laws. In my opinion, it's called private property for a reason. Imagine a flying object above your house taking pictures of you and your family. Or even worse, outside your windows. Anyway. Somehow I believe it can be illegal if the purpose is not to literally violate someone's private life (like the paparazzi do). In the pictures, I'd say the distance between the drone and the house is pretty decent, but we all know that paparazzi have no common sense and are very intrusive. I know a similar case with someone I know. He bought a drone from DizzyProps and used it to take pictures of people's credit cards while they were at the ATM. Well, it's good he'd been sued.

Is it legal for me to shoot your car up because I saw you drive past my house? Asking for a friend.

Are you driving your car in my backyard?

No. It’s on the public street in front of your house.

Just like the public airspace above your home.



You don’t own the street. Or the sky.

Actually, you do own the air rights above your house.

They are regulated, though.

Helicopters and planes are no longer allowed to use my airspace above my house.

Am I the only one who finds it a bit odd to install a swing set when your youngest child is 11?

And who owns the airspace above that?

Everyone. That’s who.

If you live around DC, you don’t have to worry because most of the area is a no fly zone for drones.

As far as recording , this is a “single person consent” jurisdiction, so as long as the drone operator consents, they can record you.

Same with phone calls: only one party needs to consent.

The more you know.

And uhh, the legal team is taking his kids abroad?

This is journalism? I teach journalism at a Maryland high school and this would be a failing paper.

What about if someone spelled vehemently that way?

English evolves you know. /s
