Anyone else ever see the helicopter buzzing the harbor taking pictures of boats for you to purchase online? Anyone throw stuff at them or try to bring them down for invading their privacy?

Down here is where a signature goes but they can confuse and anger some people so I don’t have one.
The drone situation is only going to get worse Capt. Its a shame that really no one has a right to privacy anymore.
Yeah. who cares. The gov can get an HD picture from satellite of in your backyard undies. who cares. privacy is for indoors. what are you realling doing in your boat? go in the cabin.
I think a lot of people care… while those drones certainly don’t appear to be breaking any laws yet, eventually there will need to be rules on how/when/where to operate these things. It’ll be out of control in a few years. Look up the close calls that aircraft have already had with commercially available drones. When do we do something about it? When a 16 year old flies one into an airplane engine?
When was the last time a helicopter Hovered 50 feet away from you for 5 to 7 minutes? It’s not the same at all as someone with the camera taking pictures.

I see that thing out there every now and then. Doesn’t really bother me. I saw a few pics he took of us during fishing for miracles and they were pretty cool.

Apparently someone struck a chord.
To compare what the government does with unmanned surveillance with the freelance videographers is asinine and a truly weak attempt to justify invasion of privacy. My privacy should be protected not just inside “the cabin.” Just because some jack@ass has more money than sense and finally got bored playing World of Warcraft and looking at Internet porn while living in their mom’s basement, doesn’t mean they should be able to hover their nerd-copter over my boat or my backyard. Fly it low enough over my boat or my backyard and I promise you I will do everything in my power to bring it down, legalities be d@mned. Don’t worry though, I’ll be sure to give it back, albeit in multiple easy to carry pieces, when the geek squad member that owns it shows up to get it.
No matter how much it hurts, how dark it gets, or how far you fall…you are never out of the fight.
I’m with you Bangstick. Fly it over my back yard and it’s coming down. Nobody will call the police where I live and I don’t care if they do.

Had a little clip on the news late last night, Government is worried about the sale of them for gifts at Christmas. If I was still a wet behind the ears kid, I’d probably take it to town and watch a girl or two. Now I’m older I can see the issue with privacy invasion. If I ever see one hovering over my property and it stays long enough for me to get my goose gun, I’ll have a go at it.
