If you followed the other comments on this post, you will probably realize, that this is about the airspace above ones house. So a neighbor climbing onto my roof is a completely different matter.

what if neighbour is hovering 1 foot above the roof in a small homemade hot air balloon? :)

Sounds tricky, but they could use a cherry-picker parked in their yard, and swing the boom out over your house. It's only an air-space violation.

kindly don't airsplit.

I'm not categorically opposed to the idea of shooting them.

And I'd argue they deserved it. (I'd also expect you to get charged.)

Well.... maybe just one.

Pour encourager les autres and all that.

Worth noting that in the US, castle law[1] is ardently defended and not something to be tested by FAFO.

Here, "FAFO" = fsck around, find out.

Parent's point is that you should not apply that methodology in order to test the applicability of castle law in the US, since you might end up dead.

In many jurisdictions, GP would be within their rights to shoot at them in that case.

Re the FAA rules, there's a clear difference between planes or helicopters going overhead at safe and relatively high altitudes* and drones flying at much lower ones. Occasional passes from hobby or semi-pro drones used by photographers are a minor irritation, but if drone delivery became a regular thing I can see how frequent low altitude flybys would quickly become maddening. relying on existing law for new circumstances generally yields poor results.

* I live quite near a hospital with a helipad so about once a month I have to deal with a helicopter coming under 100 feet (~35m) and making the walls shake.

I imagine it will remain ambiguous until a sufficiently public stunt forces the issue all the way up to SCOTUS and they determine a concrete minimum distance that must be maintained from structures.
