If I was in charge of the FAA, drone minimum altitude over private property would be "shotgun range".

My Mavic Platinum Pro has a 4.5 mile range. The courts have ruled that you don't own the airspace above your property, and shooting down a drone is a federal offense. In Texas I can legally fly my drone over your property as long as I don't take any pictures or video. Only government entities are exempt from this law. The appraisal districts here use drones to evaluate the properties within their jurisdiction.

Siege balloons...going the old school route, I like it.
Still dunno if that'd be legal, though.

Some drone are configured like model planes and use wing lift along with a propeller. They can travel long distances. Usually, the problem is the data link, but some tech geeks have figured out how to use the cellular to control drones at a distance.
I hate drones. Maybe a 10Ga with depleted uranium shot?

Not suggesting anything.
Sounds like some kind of .gov to me, annoying but can't recommend taking any direct action.

Do not shoot down the drone, if they catch you they probably charge you.
Try calling the local airport and see if anyone is calling in to report their drone flight. licensed pros might. John Q probably dosen't.

Aren’t private drones supposed to be within visual control distances at all times?
If you ganged up some green laser pointers together and dazzled the optics?
The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.
It's that simple.

Legally? Yes, but people fly them beyond visual range all the time and that rule may or may not apply to an entity like an appraisal district

Is there some sort of electromagnetic burst you could shoot at it - microwaves, etc.? I wonder if a good ol' CB radio with a linear amplifier could bring it down?
