8F and TomK..as I said I know the source of where this is coming from. I've spoken to PAKA's admin, a friend of mine. He said he'd be sending an email out. My husband has spoken to the young man and he was told there was concern over the drone flying over properties during the day and night. He knows now. There was nothing sinister about his activity. It's new, he's learning to use it...there's no zoom camera on it.

8F, was the drone flying next door or over your property? He lives near you and if he's flying the drone over his own house or in the empty lots next door.....

We may be getting into jurisdiction beyond NW. The admin is a volunteer and goes way above and beyond his duties as it is, which we so appreciate. I used to be a patroller for a few yrs and this wouldn't have been something we would get involved in...not criminal activity. It's time to assess when/if the lines were crossed. I haven't read all the links provided here on this thread... I'm not defending this activity..it was flying in the empty lot next door to us.

I remember people asking Kaloli Pt's NW to take care of things that were neighbor issues, and were instructed to contact the police themselves. Sometimes a friendly chat w/your neighbor may fix the problem... These are nice people who are transplants from Alaska. They are still adjusting to close proximity of neighbors.

So the question now is where exactly was the drone flying last night? Over your property, right next door???? I personally wouldn't want to burden the NW with something that "may" be a neighbor issue, not criminal. 8F, you can contact me if you want more info.


Mermaid 53, Why do you not consider a "peeping tom" on your/above property not to be criminal activity?

Did you check out the camera as not being a zoom lens or did you just take the kids answer as the truth?

"Nice" people would not do these things be they from Alaska or Timbuktu!

So this doesn't answer my question, why fly it at 11:46 at night?
It was in our back yard, very close to the property line. I could see it very easily.

Let's ALL read the link kalakoa provided...

Sorry 8F, the answer can only come from the drone flyer. He did say it was fun watching it fly at night. If you recall when we were in our 20's, we were active in the late evenings.

This is what 8F started this thread with:

What are the laws regarding flying drones in a neighborhood? Been doing it most of the day today and also 8pm tonight for a few minutes. This was the corner of D and K streets. It's not really loud but it's kind of annoying after a awhile.

This "annoyance" has morphed into something sinister... There's nothing sinister going on here on Kaloli Pt is all I'm saying. Let's educate ourselves on the topic since this obviously can be a new problem arising in neighborhoods. NW should also educate themselves on the topic. I did send the link to the NW administrator as well.

Because a "leader" of the HPP association says so. You know they are always right.

The question is why some people automatically think drone activity is sinister?

Drones fly therefore are visible to many. Doesn't automatically mean the operator is up to no good.

Invasion of privacy?

This is a grey area obviously. Where does one draw the line w/a thing like a drone? What are the regulations on this? I'm not defending this activity. I thought we were in discussion SW!

Should all drones be forbidden in neighborhoods except for business activities? These are questions that need answers instead of making assumptions or starting a witch hunt. If there aren't any regulations yet then there's nothing legally to be done for the time being, right?
