Here on Airstrip One we have airspace laws.
If we own our home, an englishmans home is his castle, we own the rights to the sky directly above.
So if a drone flies above my home I can legally shoot the poxy thing down.
Which I will do.
Cuius est solum, eius est usque ad coelum et ad inferos is a popular 13th-century Latin maxim basically translating to…”whoever's is the soil, it is theirs all the way to heaven and all the way to hell.”
This phrase was used in a court case in 1587 where a landowner built a structure that blocked a portion of his neighbor's sunlight. The structure was deemed legal since the landowner owned the entire space above his land.
- OutOfHere 2y agoFlying, hovering, and circling are all entirely different. It is not reasonable to shoot for flying. It is reasonable to shoot if hovering for a prolonged period exceeding say five minutes in a day, and it should ideally be legal. If circling, if the circle is sufficiently narrow and the drone sufficient low, it seems more reasonable to shoot it, but not otherwise.
- nostrademons 2y agoI think that legal precedent is significantly out of date, as many municipalities now have daylight planes as part of their zoning codes, which mandate that sunlight at a certain angle must be able to hit a neighbor's property.
