Yes, civilians and corporations may own/fly drones just by following some common sense FAA guidelines/rules.
No, you don’t own the airspace and can’t stop human-crewed airplanes and helicopters for the same reasons. Only the federal government can prohibit, restrict, or regulate airspace.
We usually don’t get too close unless it’s unavoidable, for safety, a search and rescue mission, or another type of emergency. This may include, but is not limited to, evasive action to avoid birds or human-crewed aircraft, to perform an emergency landing, or to comply with Law Enforcement or FAA limits/restrictions/orders.
No, we’re not invading anyone’s privacy. We are very ethical, responsible, and respectful drone operators. We only fly our drones in full compliance with privacy laws and all other federal and state laws.
Our drones cannot identify persons from a distance. If you’re inside, we definitely can’t see you. Even if you’re outside, you will be unidentifiable. Our drones will never be flown close enough to see through any windows.
Did you know that much more detailed 3D imagery is publicly available on Google Maps (enable Earth view) and Google Street View?
Please also see Can your drones spy on people? (In short: No, it can’t spy on you or anyone!)
In short: not legally.
Attempting to interfere with, damage, or destroy a drone has the same penalties as trying to interfere with, damage, or destroy a human-crewed aircraft. It comes with multiple state and federal felony charges and can also be classified as a federal criminal violation (18 USC 32) and even a terroristic act.
You’re likely to be immediately arrested. Even joking about it is a felony. If found guilty of either, you could receive a multiple-decade prison sentence and permanent loss of your right to possess guns. You could also be liable for injuries or damages.

Sorry, no. Our insurance doesn’t allow anyone but our experienced pilots to operate our drones.
