I would just about bet people will or already have used drones to spy on neighbors. If you shoot down a drone you better hope the drone camera wasn't on you when you shot it down. I am also guessing you will at least have a legal problem on video against you.
This world sure is changing at a fast pace. Are we really safe from prying eyes in our own house or back yard?

Well we now have another confirmed, non-dangerous, anti-drone technology.
This one wipes out all the others.

Hey, that was a pretty good throw! I guess it really wiped the drone from the sky.
The video was short, sweet. And entertaining. Count me in.

I haven't read all of the comments in this thread because its so D@@@@ Long but it seams to me that if you have a problem in your neighborhood with drones, I would fight fire with fire. Go buy myself a drone and hook a small net to the bottom with light weights to hold it open and fly up to attack position and fly into the creeper. Once the rotors get caught, down it comes. Now of coarse you will need to build a type of breakaway system to the light net so it doesn't bring yours down but either way, I would get great satisfaction chasing the opposition away....LOL

You can't legally fly a drone higher than 400 feet without a commercial license. That's well within the range of a goose gun.
In lieu of firearms, you could attach a gill net to a drone of your own and simply snag the intruding beastie.

Yeah the TP was worth a month's salary or more next door in Venezuela but is still cheaper than the official US Army response which is kicking off with $16M seed money.

Yep, me too ! Senior gunner, Towed Vulcan, 1969-70. We used RCATs - all-aluminum and honeycomb target powered by a 4-cyl opposed 2-stroke.

Just curious. Does anyone on this forum own a drone and enjoy flying it for recreational purposes.
This is going to become a much more serious problem and the US military is taking it seriously. There have been several reports of ISIS using drones to attack coalition troops in Syria and western Iraq.
The technology is rapidly evolving and has reached the point where just about anyone can "weaponize" a drone for illicit purposes. Recently, a prison escape was facilitated by using a drone to fly in contraband weapons and a cell phone.
The answer to the problem is not going to be regulation or hitting it with toilet paper. I think the the answer will be using electronics to disrupt the flight controls and/or hacking into the system to take control of the drone away from the operator.
All of which can be applied to drones used by UPS or for any other legitimate purpose.
The Drone Wars, begun they have.

Anti-Drone tools tested
Anti-Drone Tools Tested: From Shotguns To Superdrones | WIRED
Phoenix-based security consultancy Bishop Fox tests some anti-drone tech.
"After his tests, Brown remains hesitant to point to any of the three products he tried as the best. He argues that the results show that each has its own application. The Sky Net shells might be the cheapest and most practical in an isolated setting, like the Arizona firemen whose helicopters and planes couldn't approach a forest fire in June because a hobbyist's drone hovered nearby. The short-range net guns might be most useful for celebrities or others trying to fend off paparazzi. (Hopefully in more temperate climates.) And the SparrowHawk could be used by corporations trying to keep spy drones away from their factories or movie sets."
