<p>A federal judge in Kentucky has dismissed a lawsuit against
William Meredith, a self-proclaimed 'Drone Hunter,' who shot down
a $1500 drone that was flying over his property.</p>
<p>The pilot, David Boggs, sued Meredith last year claiming that his
drone was flying in legal airspace as determined by the FAA and
therefore was not trespassing. A 1946 Supreme Court
decision asserted that a property owner's rights extend up to 83
feet in the air.</p>
<p>US District Judge Thomas Russell <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3522488-Merideth-Opinion.html" target="_blank">ruled</a> that federal court is not the proper
venue for the lawsuit, noting that the FAA has not enforced any
regulations regarding aerial trespassing, nor was the agency a
party in the suit. Instead, the Judge said that the lawsuit should
be litigated in Kentucky State Court under existing trespassing
laws.</p>
<p>Boggs' attorneys have not said whether he will appeal to a higher
court – in this case, the 6th US Circuit. In the meantime, drone
pilots should probably steer clear of Meredith's property.</p>
