Drone spying is an issue that needs to be addressed.  There are a couple of states in the US that have recently passed a new bill making spying a chargeable offense.
In Tennessee and Virginia using a drone to coerce, intimidate, harass, spy or follow someone is now illegal. HB 638 also makes it illegal to fly a drone within 50 feet of someone’s home if the homeowner has asked the drone flier to stop. Any violation would be considered a Class 1 misdemeanor.
Common sense should tell most pilots that this is wrong!
