The pilot has posted the flight path from his navigation/control software. It completely contradicts the shooter's statement. It says the drone didn't come lower than 130 feet, wasn't buzzing the guy's daughter, and never flew over the shooter's property. It was over the neighbor's property when shot down.

More regulation on the way because of a pissy little neighborhood conflict. I have neighbors who have gone to the mattresses for 3 years over a lacrosse ball that ended up in one of their yards. Maybe we should serialize lacrosse balls.

Farmers and local govs (watershed, DNR) are using these drones. Real work is being done. Registering a drone is pretty ridiculous. If you mean to do harm, you will just ignore the regs.
