    So if you have exclusive air rights up to 500 ft, what does that say about a drone trespassing at between 40 and 200 ft (depending on who you ask)?

    Yeah, the FAA rule is much more strict. The aircraft (RC or not) should be much higher over private property.

    No one's lives were put in danger. You have to be some kind of special to be implying that bird shot discharged in any direction would harm someone more than 20 feet away. The drone was allegedly flying at between 40 and 200 feet (depending on who you ask), so was not an issue as possible harm in the direction of fire.

    A gun shot in a city sure, but I place this as either suburban or rural, and I will tell you, I haven't heard of anyone calling in gunshots even in suburban environments. I heard one the other day in suburban, and just commented on it and moved on, never saw any police patrolling to find the offender.

    Outside a shotgun is lethal under ~50 meters

    It depends on the load, in this case bird shot which is only lethal within a few meters. Though shooting a drone down that is 60m up is pretty impressive with bird shot.

    From previous descriptions, I believe that this guy lived in more of the suburbs than a rural area. There was talk about the drone flying over houses, which with the range of most drones would be unlikely in a rural area. Also, in rural, you are more likely to be able to identify the drone's owner so that it could be solved with heated words rather than bird shot.

    14 is prepubescent? That's a damn late bloomer. Pedophilia requires prepubescent, or it isn't pedophilia. That is why this line in your link:

    Sexual abuse in the first degree is a Class D felony if the victim is 12 to 17 years old, and a Class C felony if the victim is under 12.

    Under 12 is considered a worse crime because it is more likely that it is prepubescent.

    So, common sense says that me flying my drone over your back yard where you have a large privacy fence, and just hovering while your teenage daughters are sunbathing next to the pool is perfectly acceptable?

    You do realize that the FAA rules prohibit this behavior with remote controlled vehicles of the older variety (RC planes/helicopters), don't you?

    If someone is standing in your back yard, pointing their camera phone right at you and returns after being asked to leave, you may actually be completely on the right side of the law.

    There has been no case where the farmer accidentally grew the GMO. Every case that has been pursued in court was over a farmer intentionally concentrating the seed and planting it. Not accidental anything.

    My baseball falling onto your property does not give you the right to mass produce that exact style/design of ball.

    Just because something fell onto your property, it doesn't give you the right to break copyright on that item, no matter how much you twist the law.

    Which mythical frequency is this?

    Radar doesn't handle poor weather well, it never has, so the car that uses radar and visible is screwed. We haven't invented something that does well with this, but I guess if you want to pay for magnets to be installed in the road surface, that might help.

    I would love to see how an autonomous car drives in snow/ice/rain. Is it going to have some kind of sensor that knows what conditions it is dealing with? What about the havoc an active snow storm will cause on all the cameras, how will it deal with that? Rain and snow also show up on radar, which many cars use for their situational awareness, this could cause issues. I also kind of wonder how well radar would work in an RF noisy environment such as a traffic jam of autonomous cars.
