    So this means I’m allowed to fly my drone over prison yards then, right?

    Edit: Also, doesn’t that then make it legal for folks to capture the drones? It’s on their property.

        Wait, we don’t own our property airspace? So then, and I’m not being facetious, the entire plot of the 2010 film Burlesque is complete bullshit?

        I figured a drone over a prison was a no and I was just being humorous but the citizen’s lack of property airspace sucks. I get it for like a mile above your house because of planes, but drone height? That’s stupid.

        What if the drone touches the ground or a surface that connects to the ground like a rooftop? Is it fair game then?

          Pretty sure you own ~100 feet above, 20 feet below and nothing further. If the police stay above a hundred feet then there’s no legal recourse for their spying. And now I’m going to read the article to learn why they’re spying on peoples’ 9/11 parties.

            My best guess is simply that it’s Labor Day weekend. People party a decent bit over it. And when people party, there’s a chance for cops to make some money, I mean arrests for dangerous dangerous crimes against society.

              I ninja’d you. It’s black people. They deployed drones because of black people. If police weren’t so eager to fit their stereotype, this would almost be unexpected.
