While we all think of the areas inside our fenced yards as 'private', I don't actually believe nobody can see me in my yard...
I wonder how many folks would have a different reaction to a person parked in a vehicle across the street, taking photos with a telephoto lens? Larry

Utilities like them because they can get real close to energized lines without endangering an aircraft or humans.

I know this will probably strike you as entirely unreasonable, but IMHO my right to enjoy the privacy of MY property trumps your "right" (?) to get the picture you want. If you weren't in a helicopter and you were taking photos of my neighbor's house from ground level, would you assert that you should have carte blanche to wander around in my yard to find the right perspective? |

There is a big difference in a "drone" hovering somewhat over a property line in the big city vs. a drone hovering next to your house on a 640 acre spread. We really need to keep this in perspective. |
