I agree. A drone operated in an unsafe manner is subjective and if shot down the burden of proof rests on you to prove it was operated unsafely. For me, unsafe means that if the drone is too close where it may injure me, someone near me, or my property, then I would shoot it down (in a safe manner). Obviously calling the police would be the best idea if they could respond before that drone does any damage or injury. Most likely that would not be the case. Just because it could be filming me in public does not constitute unsafe operation. If it was filming me through the windows of my house, then things would be different and I would not care if I get a discharging a weapon in city limits charge. It would be justified to me.
Out of curiosity, what kind of drone do you operate? Insitu developed the scan eagle to assist in spotting tuna before the military became more lucrative. I have always wondered if a DJI quadrotor would be effective for some of the bigger fish in the ocean.
