[QUOTE="Rekanix, post: 38788, member: 7862"] Thank you all! You’ve given me a lot of info and I’m truly grateful! I’m learning a lot already and am beginning to study in prep for the test already - there’s a lot to it! But I’m gonna do it and be legit! I made a neighbor mad the other night - he called me a punk on our neighborhood Facebook page for flying my drone over the neighborhood. He said he was in law enforcement and didn’t appreciate that I was flying my drone close enough to his house to read his license plate, and that he didn’t want his family to be in jeopardy. He also said I was asking for trouble. First, he didn’t know me nor me him. He didn’t know who was flying the drone, and I didn’t/don’t know where he lives. Second, I responded to the post that his family was not in jeopardy because of my hobby, that I wasn’t trying to bother or upset anyone, that it was dark and I wasn’t trying to read his license plate, and that I wasn’t breaking any laws. And third, I asked if that was a threat (me asking for trouble) - I did delete that part later per my wife’s request (she said not to get confrontational with a cop) - he was being a jerk, and I’m not a punk! BUT, I’ve just recently learned I’m not supposed to fly at night! The rest of that FB thread was me saying I was just trying to learn my drone’s features and not trying to upset anyone. A couple posts from neighbors defended me in saying that we should be civil and just ask me not to fly near his house (again, I don’t know him or where he lives), and to not be name calling on the Facebook neighborhood forum as we’re all neighbors. I think he thought I was just a kid, but I’m a grown man - he didn’t post anything else, and the “social media confrontation” died, which is good - but I was wrong for flying at night. I think he was just being a jerk, though, because he didn’t “like” some punk flying over his house - but that’s not illegal, right? [/QUOTE]
