Can you legally shoot down a drone flying over your yard?
Many homeowners wonder about their options when a drone appears to be invading their privacy. This discussion covers the legal reality of interfering with aircraft and why taking matters into your own hands can lead to serious federal consequences. Understanding drone laws is essential for any property owner concerned about unauthorized flight.
While it is frustrating to have a drone hovering near your home, shooting it down is treated as a criminal act against an aircraft. I explain the risks involved and what steps you should actually take if you feel your airspace is being violated. Knowing the limits of drone regulation keeps you on the right side of the law.

The FCC added a new regulatory proposal to the Federal Record, which provides for 30 days of public comments to be heard before a final decision is made. This new regulation would further ban the sale or distribution of any drone in the United States that includes LIDAR, Thermal Imaging, Swarming Technology or Aerial Delivery of liquids (Crop Spraying). This immediately affect the DJI Air 3S, Neo 2, Avata 360 and the Mini 5 Pro. The links above take you to the form you can use to submit a comment to the FCC letting them know that you oppose this regulation. Please take a minute to do this today so we can try and stop the draconian regulations that are affecting our hobby. Thanks for watching and please let me know if you have any questions!
