Man harasses neighbor’s dog with drone for months, gets what he deserves

by pawbuzz on in Dogs 466

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.

    Apparently this guy didn’t read the f.a.a. rules on drones. Don’t shoot it down. You will get in trouble. Call the police. When he goes to court he will pay hevty fine . Flying a drone in a restricted area . It’s guys like this makes our hobby full of restrictions. .

    Personally I don’t put much stock in a site that advertises other stories that are obviously false.
    Chumlee is not dead He’s Alive and Well acting like a moron (which he really isn’t)

    With the neighbors attitude I suppose I could argue with him that I could send #5 shot out of my shotgun and if it interferes with his drone, well nobody owns the air.

    You do understand that what I am saying is; the person with the dog might have a legal case to sue tge neighbor or press charges for harassment and definitely envasion of privacy

    One of the first things we learned in Torts class in law school is about trespass and the how the property owner owns the usable airspace above their property. You can trespass to someone’s land without even touching the ground. I love stories like these where really stupid people pay for their stupidity.
