Fishing rod with small lead weight, any decent fisherman should be able to bring one of those things down in a couple of tries. If any problems just say that you were practising your casting out techniques when the terrible incident happened.

This puts up a different scenario to what I've been told
I've had a look at the relevant Alderney law, which is the "Dangerous Weapons (Alderney) Law 1965. Section 5. "Penalty for possesing weapon with intent to injure refers.I'm not a lawyer, but it appears clear to me that a firearms offence has been committed, in thnat the firearm has been used to "injure" the property of John Day . Penalty for possessing weapon with intent to injure. 5. A person who has in his possession any dangerous weapon or ammunition with intent by means t hereof to endanger life or cause serious injury to property, or to enable any other person by means thereof to endanger life or cause serious injury to property, shall, whether any injury to person or property has been caused or not, be guilty of an offenc e and liable, on conviction, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding fourteen years. 1 hr Very old law, and not taking into account how times change maybe |

technically the dronee is guilty of trespass. This can mean a sentence of anything up to 10 years
|

By:
trespass is confined not just to your house and garden but also the airspace above and the soil below.
you cannot tunnel below someones garden. |

The UK law on this goes back to the 16th century-
Today in the UK thanks to the Civil Aviation Act of 1982, the generally accepted amount of air above one’s roof a person is entitled to is approximately 500-1,000 feet, though again this isn’t a hard definition. Likewise, the United States has a similar estimation of about 500 feet, though this has never been officially ruled on by the Supreme Court. |

At the moment, there is nothing to stop you going and buying a drone and taking it out flying, as long as the drone weighs less than 20kg and you are not using it for commercial reasons.
However, you must avoid flying it within 150 metres of a congested area and 50 metres of a person, vessel, vehicle or structure not under the control of the pilot. |

Whereas - for very good reasons - there is a multitude of reasons that stops you buying a shotgun.
