Then is sure wouldn't see the hollow end of a barrel right before the lights went out.
j/k
I don't understand why some people think it would be ok with me (or SHOULD be ok with me) to allow anyone's flying toys on to my property without permission. That's just being disrespectful.
Steve says he asks for permission. He seems like a RESPONSIBLE 'copter owner. If there's someone nearby that wishes to cut across my land or look for deer, or whatever, and they ask first, I'd likely be ok with that. But why risk an expensive toy by trying to impose your will over mine when you didn't ask first? A lot could be accomplished by simple communication. It's not like I'd be out hunting for drones. I actually think they're pretty cool toys.
I already stated I don't really care what the law may say about your "right to fly" over my property. If it becomes inoperable after causing me issues, so be it. "Aw, look what mean ol' Mr. Gravity did..."
My point about neutralizing one is that I would know the difference if one was (what I perceived to be) scouting or buzzing my property and what I would consider an innocent type of fly-by. I likely would not disable a unit the first time it happened.
But if things continue and I feel like there's some suspicious activity, I have the right to protect myself and property, regardless of WHERE the real, or perceived, threat is. And that trumps your so-called "right to fly" over my property without permission. I didn't live to be this old by taking chances.
