I say no. If the guy has a 6 ft privacy fence, pool & his teen daughters are laying out at the pool & a drone with camera is hovering above, I don't blame him..

Sending a drone (with our without a camera) into somebody else's yard is unlawful entry... period the end

this is a very good example of how changing technology does not affect the spirit of the right to privacy

So, would this guy have shot at a police helicopter, with or without a camera?

It's on a case-by-case basis.

How is that even remotely the same? Police have a much wider swath than some local dipshit flying his drone does.
Possibly he should face a small crime for discharging a weapon but as far as shooting down the drone, fuck no.

The point is, you don't have an absolute right to the airspace over your house. Private/commercial helicopters and planes do it all the time.
For the record, I don't personally have a problem with what he did. Just throwing it out there.

Actually, shooting down a drone is a federal offense no matter where it's flying, but yeah I'd shoot that motherfucker down too.

Well, it's not specifically enumerated in the Constitution.
So, if you mean Conk "strict constructionists" are "strict constructionists" on a case-by-case basis - then, I agree.

My son has a remote control quad copter with a HD camera on it. It was $79 on Amazon. This will be more and more common.

I'm with you on this. If I can't hit the thing with a bat I'll take my chances with a shotgun and let a judge decide if discharging a shotgun within the city limits trumps invasion of privacy.

Only the government can do that.
