Someone flew one of those drone thing over my garden a few evenings ago while I was enjoying the evening sun and a drink. It hovered about twenty feet up for quite a while before flying off, and probably had a camera. Where would I stand if I took the 12 bore to it? |

Isn't there a rule about how close you can fly these things near buildings? |

If it was taking photos of Bob without his permission, it was apparently in breach of The Data Protection Act. |

In America, it is reported that some parents buy guns for their youngsters as birthday/Christmas presents. |

It definitely should not have flown at twenty feet above Bob's garden. However it would not be a good idea to take physical action against it in case it cased damage elsewhere by crashing. |

I was only joking about shooting it down. I don't like the idea of pictures of me sunbathing naked being put on utube! That also was a joke. |

We had one fly over us on Friday. We live behind Shepperton Studios thought it might be them playing silly beggars. |
