Where would one report a drone flying over me, when I'm not participating in the drone operation?

While you can't directly "register" land as a no-fly zone, you can take steps to discourage drone use over your property and potentially seek legal recourse if necessary, focusing on local ordinances and privacy laws.
Here's a breakdown of how to approach this:
1. Understand the Legal Landscape:
Federal Regulations:
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulates drone operations, but it's generally legal to fly drones over private property, as long as certain rules are followed (e.g., staying below 400 feet, maintaining visual line of sight, registering drones over 0.55 pounds, and obtaining a Part 107 certificate for commercial use).
State Laws (Florida):
Florida has the Florida Unmanned Aircraft Systems Act (330.41) that generally preempts local drone laws, but cities and municipalities can still pass laws on specific topics like privacy and harassment.
Local Ordinances:
Check for any specific ordinances in The Villages or The Villages area that might restrict drone use, especially regarding privacy or harassment.
2. Take Preventative Measures:
Clear Signage:
Post "No Drone Zone" or similar signs on your property to deter drone operators.
Communicate with Neighbors:
Discuss drone concerns with neighbors to foster a sense of community awareness and potentially coordinate efforts.
Document Drone Activity:
If you observe drone activity that you believe is violating your privacy or property rights, document the time, date, location, and any relevant details.
3. Seek Legal Advice and Enforcement:
Contact Local Authorities:
If you encounter drone activity that violates local ordinances or state laws, contact the local police department or relevant authorities.
Consult with an Attorney:
If you believe your privacy or property rights have been violated, consult with an attorney specializing in drone law to explore legal options.
Consider Privacy Laws:
Florida has laws regarding the use of drones to capture images of private property without consent, and you can explore these laws to protect your privacy.
