Haha......may sound like some good afternoon fun, but you may want to hold off. Had a guy here in S. Jersey take a shot at a drone his neighbor was flying over his backyard with his 12 Ga. cause he felt he was invading his privacy. Turns out, he was wrong! Not only was he charged with violation of local firearm ordinances, but was sued by his neighbor, and lost, for repaying all costs of his damaged drone (a couple thousand bucks or so!!). Seems that "airspace" above one's property is not the same as one's dwelling for privacy purposes.
Think of it this way.......LE would need a search warrant to enter your property to look for a stolen jet ski, however, if they observed it while fyling over your property in an aircraft, different story. They could just show up with an arrest warrant for possessing stolen property. A drone would sorta be the same thing.
Definitely some interesting times ahead......especially once Amazon gets their Drone Delivery program up and running!!
