It happened to me ....and I didn't like it

[hank970]

I wouldn't think of intruding on another individual's space without prior consent, and I'd expect the same as regards my privacy. On the other hand, I can't think of any reason I should be concerned if someone hovers a drone near me and frames a shot. What's the harm? It might just be a youngster with a new toy. Beyond that, I wouldn't be a very interesting subject, and I have nothing to hide. I might even smile and wave.

If such activity were recurring, then I might feel differently.

In a public place I would probably take it in stride...and as you mentioned, I would probably smile and wave....but in my own backyard there is a certain expectation of some privacy....if it were up at 45 or 50 feet it might not have seemed so intrusive, but at such a low altitude, aimed at me and hovering....I did wonder why someone was so interested in me

I fly over peoples yards, but I keep moving and I usually maintain over 125 feet in altitude
