Drone Overflights Could Be Labeled 'Aerial Trespass'
Regular drone flights could be defined as “aerial trespass” under a proposal discussed by the Uniform Law Commission (ULC) in July, warns one aviation lawyer. The ULC provides draft legislation for independent adoption by state lawmakers and floated the idea last month at its annual meeting in Louisville, Kentucky, said Mark Dombroff, co-leader of the aviation practice of national law firm LeClairRyan.

The ownership of the air space above the propriety is long overdue, with land ownership legislated from a time when flying was only for birds.
As I understand it, today we own just the land, nothing above it. Theoretically if someone wants to run a cable suspended at 10 foot above ground, without touching the ground with supports, that's not "trespassing".

Business opportunities: Stealth Drones . . . Improved RC camera capabilities (gyro stabilized) . . . Waterproof Drones . . . Drone Police (Dial 911; Ooops, that's taken, just call Drone Busters)
Refresh my memory, but doesn't FAA regulations preempt local and state laws? And wouldn't such legislation suppose that anyone can regulate airspace?
Some localities and even states decided that they don't need to "enforce" federal law, so... who knows?
Sure, that didn't worked well for the Confederate States of America, but humans don't learn from history.

Imagine for a moment, the nightmare of a patchwork of local, County and State regulations and rules. The enforcement would be almost impossible. This is why the principle of preemption came about. It is well established in the courts for the reason of uniform definition and regulation on a single level.
The subject matter should be left up to the FAA, and not State and local bodies. I agree that some measure of privacy should be afforded. Thus, there needs to be uniform definition of what air space is, and at what level private ceases, and the public use takes over. We already have that governing the area around airports and helipads, it needs to be expanded for the use of drones.

If someone is walking or driving on my property I call the local police but if only FAA regulations can legally restrict flying craft operations who would I call to report aerial transgressions and how long would they take to arrive ?
I realize this situation existed previously with radio-controlled model aircraft but it is only since cheap "toy" drones became commonplace that it has become a matter of concern. Theoretically a gasoline powered drone or one crashing with a compromised or defective battery could initiate a serious fire incident.
