Let’s say that hypothetically someone flew an fpv drone right up to your bedroom door, which is accessible from outside the building, during the middle of the night at 11pm.

What do?

    How big a drone? If it’s over 250g it has remote id and you can get its info using an app on your phone. Smaller drones don’t require it though.

    Sorry, how do you get their info?

    I don’t know the weight just by sound, it was night so I didn’t get a good look at it. I have cameras for security and early warning but they’re all covering paths on the ground, I’ve moved some around though to get a view that covers the air too so if it comes back again I’ll have footage.

    Depending on the state, this could be a perfectly legal recreational drone flight. A lot of state laws really haven’t caught up with drone technology. See your local laws here https://www.findlaw.com/consumer/consumer-transactions/drone-laws-by-state.html

    Ahh, problem. This is the UK.

      Oh yeah everything I said applies to US only. Don’t know anything about UK drone laws, but a cursory search suggests that remote id isn’t even required there.
