Police say photographer with drone

Came across this.  What do you think.  Photographer claims he was not doing anything wrong.  Police said he had no right.

New way to cover news, is it legal?

  1. It is still legally an undetermined area. Legally, if you own the property, you are supposed to own the land beneath your land and the space above it. However, how much down in earth and how much up above the sky are not legally determined. I suppose it is the same common rule restricting public photographing on the public street. It probably should restrict photographing with high power telephoto lens from above the sky. We all understand that if a plane fly above our house 1000 feet above should not considered as illegal trespassing. However, how close is too close would be something we need to discuss.
