| A US man has been fined 850 US Dollars for shooting down his neighbour's home-built drone with a shotgun which he believed was spying on him.
Eric Joe was flying his homemade hexacopter drone in his parent's backyard in Modesto, California, in November last year when it was struck by a 12-gauge shotgun fire from nearby walnut trees.
Mr Joe claimed his neighbour Brett McBay shot the drone down because he thought it was a surveillance vehicle.

"When I went out to go find it, I saw him come out, shotgun in hand," Mr Joe said.
When the two men could not agree on a fee to compensate for the broken drone, Mr Joe brought the case before the Stanislaus County small claims court.
Mr McBay claimed the drone was flying over his property and he was within his rights to shoot, despite GPS data provided by Mr Joe showing that the machine was hovering over a walnut orchard owned by his parents, not Mr McBay's property, when it was brought down
