While there are people who enjoy flying drones for fun, there are those who cannot resist the urge to use drones to harass their friends, family or even their neighbor. The neighbor in this story thought it would be funny to use his drone to harass an innocent dog and as you might have imagined, this dispute ended up in a court of law.
The neighbor believed that it was his right to fly his drone close to the dog and tease him, since no one “owns the air”. The owner of the dog even asked the police to intervene and even though the neighbor was advised to cease his actions immediately, he continued to taunt the poor pup.
Finally, the dog reached its boiling point and the neighbor’s drone was captured and destroyed. This led to a heated confrontation where the neighbor demanded restitution in an expletive filled tirade and had the door closed in his face.
When the neighbor elected to take his case to court, he never could have expected what happened next. Not only was his claim essentially laughed out of court, but it was also decided that he owed money for his months of torment.
The dog’s owner was well prepared for the moment, as he had saved all of the medical bills associated with the neighbor’s relentlessly cruel behavior. The court decided that he should pay $2,000 worth of restitution and to add insult to injury, he is now under FAA investigation for possession of an unregistered drone.
Stories like these simply go to show that karma will always catch up with those who are unwilling to take responsibility for their own actions. We are sorry that the dog was made to suffer for so long but we will rest easier knowing that the drone has finally been ripped to shreds.

So glad that the dogs ok and the neighbour got his dues, serves him right. I had one hovering over my garden when I was sat out the back garden (I’m in the UK) and it took for me to swear at it as it was invading my privacy before whoever was flying it took it away. This is not funny for people who just want peace and quiet, yeah fly your drones but not above or in peoples property.

Good. I am glad this worked out the way it did. What a total prick that neighbor is. Why didn’t the dog owner shoot the bloody thing out the sky. They should get a drone and do the exact same thing to that$#%&!@*

Only thing wrong with this story is he claims he doesn’t have a girlfriend but then goes on to say his MIL works as a paralegal secretary. How can you have a mother in law if you don’t have a girlfriend/wife?? Just curious.

I heard about they are making drone pilots carry license or something since it’s become problems lately they haven’t been in the news lately so I guess it died down or they have places they can go or maybe it was for the drone aswell

ANY harassments of any animal should not be tolerated by anyone with common sense. Let this be a lesson learned.

Any idiot can buy these damn things. Sooner or later it’s going to cause serious trouble. They should most definitely not be sold for entertainment.

Here’s what one of U.S. FAA regulations says: What should I do if I see someone flying a drone in a reckless or irresponsible manner?
Flying a drone in a reckless manner is a violation of Federal law and FAA regulations and could result in civil fines or criminal action. If you see something that could endanger other aircraft or people on the ground, call local law enforcement.
