I understand but then again you'd be putting the "pilot" in danger...To put your scenario into perspective, there are a large number of people who feel the same about small airplanes passing by at low level.
here's the entire movie, well worth the watching http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=O6BF2Q86PhYThen stay away from large numbers of people...
Second Hand Lyon's looks like a good movie...
So, say you own a nice piece of west Texas land (humor me on this part) and you're sitting out on the veranda (one of my Grandmothers favorite place words) under a beautiful sky (yes, even this Okie will give West Texas credit for great sunsets) entertaining the neighbors (they live 43 miles away) and low and behold some little drone thingie comes a buzzing by and the operator (just can't call 'em a pilot) sees your shindig a happen and decides he "needs" to take a closer look at your impressive spread of jalapeño, bacon, dove nuggets on the grill and being from "New York City" he just has to check to see what salsa you're serving (sorry Pace, great adds but marginal product) and being annoyed at the intrusion you go all Second Hand Lyon's on it and blast it out of the sky...what laws have you violated?
Hollywood Gets First UAS Approvals
I wonder what load works best, I'm guessing a turkey load?

President Obama will issue an executive order regarding drones and privacy issues "any day now," according to a report in The Hill on Monday. Michael Drobac, the organizer of the Small UAV Coalition, which launched last week, said the executive order would aim to satisfy privacy advocates by requiring federal drone operators to make public the size and purpose of their fleets and reveal how they will use any information they collect. The coalition hopes that step will help the FAA to move more quickly toward issuing guidelines for the commercial use of UAVs. Members of the coalition include Amazon Prime Air, Google[x]'s Project Wing, GoPro, and Parrot. Politico also reported in July that the executive order was in the works.
"The Small UAV Coalition believes safe commercial, philanthropic, and civil use of small UAVs will benefit the lives of consumers and promote U.S. competitiveness," said Drobac. "We look forward to working with the FAA, FCC, the Administration and Congress to ensure this industry can flourish." In the group's definition, small UAVs weigh under 55 pounds and typically fly at an altitude of less than 400 feet AGL. They can be flown by a remote operator or by an automated program in the UAV. The coalition is lobbying for rules that will permit the operation of small UAVs beyond the line of sight, "with varying degrees of autonomy."
...... The FAA said it will require "certain conditions and limitations" to ensure the UAS are operated safely. For example, all operations require both a pilot and observer, the pilot must have at least an FAA Private Pilot certificate and a current medical certificate
FAA Seeks Police Help Controlling Drone Use
The FAA is deputizing police forces across the U.S. in the fight against illegal drone use. The agency has issued a 12-page guide to law-enforcement agencies enlisting their help in stemming the "considerable increase in the unauthorized use" of small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS). Of course, the police don't really have the authority to enforce airspace regulations so the agency is asking that law enforcement do the legwork when illegal drone use is suspected. "State and local police are often in the best position to immediately investigate unauthorized UAS operations, and as appropriate, to stop them," the agency said in a news release posted Jan. 8.
The FAA says it would be most helpful if law enforcement interviewed witnesses, tracked down the drone operators, collected evidence and then notified local FAA inspectors. The FAA would then take over prosecuting the perpetrators. "The FAA's goal is to promote voluntary compliance by educating individual UAS operators about how they can operate safely under current regulations and laws, but the guidance makes clear the agency's authority to pursue legal enforcement action against persons who endanger the safety of the National Airspace System," the news release says.
