Any proof they are doing this over private property?

Many agencies have drones. Just like many of your neighbors likely have drones as well.

Ever use the county GIS sites?  I'll even get into the floor plan of your house.  Public info.  Not much you can hide these days.

It’s also legal here to shoot any drone over your private property , if any drone was flying above my property it would get a load of 2 shot

I don't have a problem with it. If there is a specific instance of problematic use let us know, but in general I support our Law Enforcement using multiple techniques. What are they using them for? If it is to help stop poaching GREAT! Any private citizen can fly drones, why can't our law enforcement officers use them????
