it's pretty provocative on both sides. on one hand, flying camera scouting out private property and individuals. on the other, shooting and destroying private property. whose property (and privacy) rights should win?

uncovering illegal activity is generally a societal good, but invasion of privacy is not. protecting privacy (and property) rights are a general societal good, but destroying others' property is not.

I’m of the opinion that they both violated each other’s rights and both should be punished.
