Drone creep filmed woman's house and refused to stop
In Capitol Hill Seattle's complaints blog, a woman has reported a stranger flying a drone near her house and refusing to leave.
"I initially mistook its noisy buzzing for a weed-whacker," the resident said. "After several minutes, I looked out my third story window to see a drone hovering a few feet away".
Her husband approached the man, but he insisted it was perfectly legal to fly an aerial drone over her garden. The pilot was using a drone equipped with a camera and wearing glasses, which transmit the images he was observing using the UAV, and claimed to be doing research. "We are extremely concerned," the resident said, "as he could very easily be a criminal who plans to break into our house or a peeping tom". She called the police but they did not pursue the pilot after he left, and is wondering if there had been any other sightings of the pilot around the Capitol Hill area.
