- The drone involved in this accident was likely over the water and NOT over the crowd.
- Flying dozens (hundreds?) of drones above the 25,000 people in your yard would certainly be illegal
- But yeah, this is JUST LIKE a single drone flying over empty land while viewing a construction area

Define "wrong." To me, using an illegal device is wrong. It is highly questionable to define a device which is intended to interfere with the controlled flight of a drone as SAFE. There are several things wrong with using an illegal device that interferes with the safe flight of a drone is.
You are entitled to fly a drone in your OWN territory. If you are the drone pilot, you are also well aware the drone is in the air and well advised of its route. I’m just saying no one has the right to fly over someone else’s territory while they aren’t warned and unaware of the possible issues. You can’t remove their rights.

No one has the right to remove security or privacy from an individual. In addition, the said property owner certainly has the right to defend security and privacy. There is zero doubt on that.
