It's already well established that if you knock down a drone, even one flying above your private property, you can be held liable for the damages. Pottery Barn rule...You break it, you buy it.
Not to my knowledge.

I consider it to the drone owner to be guilty of peeping tom by proxy. They can sue me for the drone ... I'll countersue for the trespass and invasion of privacy, and well see what a jury says. I know which side I'd rather be on.
