The penalty for shooting down a drone could soon be as much as 20 years in prison if the Federal Aviation Administration classifies UAVs as aircraft.
“If drones are aircraft, and subject to the same restrictions relating to aircraft, then they should also be afforded the exact same protection the law provides all aircraft,” Peter Sachs, a Connecticut attorney who specializes in UAV issues, told Vice's Motherboard.

So if a drone is hovering outside my bedroom window, I have no legal rights to swat at it and claim its an invasion of privacy? This really does not make sense to me.

MSgt John Grollimund, The problem with this guy is that he shot it down. If I was to accidentally throw a football in the air and it accidentally knocked the drone down, and I accidentally stepped on it, I would just say its an accident.

If a police officer is standing outside your home looking inside, do you have the right to swat at him or her?

Throw a big stick at it and if the neighbor complains, just say you were playing fetch with the dog.
