We had an asshole neighbor fly a quite large drone over my wife working in her garden and she was terrified. It was shockingly loud. I had a very strong desire to reach for the 20 gauge. Apparently that asshole behavior is legal! I hear about things like this delivery program and yes I just die laughing that it could be considered a good idea. Drone noise destroys the wilderness concept too.

Flying above your lawn might be legal, but loud noise and privacy invasion might be illegal, regardless of technology involved. Call the cops next time.

  I called the cops. They did not show up. And the ordinance that I read at the time was vague, and that means the interpretation goes the way the cop wants it to go.

I was pretty upset to find out that the FAA considers shooting at any aircraft a felony, including drones that are stalking you or flying above your property.

  stock up on fishing line. nothing compels you to clear the way for drones on your own property.

  What if you crash a kite, or another drone in to it?

You are implying that the drone noise you heard is the same as an Amazon drone’s noise. That is not necessarily true. It’s possible that the Amazon drones are quieter than the drone from your “asshole neighbor”. You can’t logically compare the sound of two different drones to arrive at your conclusion of “all drones = bad”.

  Oh yes I can. I don't care if there are a variety of levels and flavors. Noise over my yard from somebody else sucks. ICE noise on the road sucks too, there's a reason freeways have massive investments in sound barriers.
