We all know the principle that we can't spy on each other. We can't have peepholes in restrooms, we can't record each other's telephone conversations, we can't open someone else's mail, we can't hack into another's computer... These are pretty much settled in law.
Now arrives the drone. We've seen the great pictures those things can take, which begs the question: what if your neighbor flies one over your back fence and records your wife sunbathing? What if someone flies a drone into your daughter's bathroom?
Not so fast, pal. There's a law that says the airspace above the ground on your property is public airspace; you have no control over it. Besides, you can't fire off your shotgun in most towns and cities.
What a mess we've engineered ourselves into this time.
