Caught you make a great point. The expectation of privacy in public in Mass is a very tricky subject and has so much gray area that its not the strongest point that Will can make in defence of a drone user. Keep in mind if I were tp record a drone bothering me while I pee there is a amazing chance that its operator (assuming they are found for arguments sake) will catch a charge for voyourism. People's privacy even in public is a delicate thing...especially in the outdoors. I suspect Will would habe a different view of he had been harassed to the extent I was.There is a guy somewhere on this forum who knocked one down with his boats rooster tail...begs the question was that drone opperator being an idiot.. id say yes.
My son lives in Wallingford CT and found one perfectly sitting on his deck right in front of his slider.There are no stairs coming up to the deck. The only access is thru the inside of his condo. The only footage it had was when it was being unboxed. Scary
Well in any event at least I know I can fish somewhere and not get buzzed....
According to the nightly news this evening, there's one less drone (and properly clothed pool table) in MA. Fortunately, no one hurt in that circumstance.
Sounds like someone new to drones, that did not know what they were doing, ran the battery low and the unit came down for a landing and happen to land on his back deck... How is that Scary? That it might of landed on someone? Or is it about looking in windows? A baseball going thru a window is MUCH more scary and many of us have done that to a neighbour...
There is no problem getting buzzed once in a while.
Cmon Jon, you cant compare a drone going down during a parade and hitting someone to one hovering over you fishing. The guy that got hit didnt even get hurt and really didnt care.I posted about the drone outlaw at the Q earlier, it had more to do with potential water contamination.
Speaking of water contamination I was fishing area 3 one day in June several years back. There was a rotting deer carcass in the water near the shore. I'll bet it had been there since ice out. (Most likely a deer went through or broke a leg on the ice.) I reported it but apparently it was no big deal?
