It wouldn't be putting others at risk so you wouldn't have to worry about reckless endangering charges.

One could always try to train birds to take out the drone!

Those egrets occasionally follow my Phantom but not my 250 racer.

Can anyone recommend a relatively quiet drone for spying on my neighbors? They keep spotting the one I'm using now forcing me to abort the mission.

There are blimp-style drones people make.  They run really quiet since it doesn't use the props for lift/hover.

Geez, talk about a perfect pellet rifle target..........

You could use Mylar balloons with the Nano Blimp stick-on thing.  Makes it look like a flying saucer.

That would be harder to damage, and better for the environment, too.

The egrets are trying to boff your phantom

Activate the camera and film some birdy-porn

my poor Phantom

I just thought of another idea.

What about a sling shot? Granted you have to be a good shot but it is quiet and probably has less potential for collateral damage. Just launch some rock salt or something that will scatter. Depends on the height of the drone as well. At least you will avoid any potential firearm issues.

Tough to do without getting in trouble if the owners catch you shooting at it.

Water balloons from a wrist rocket would probably down it. Or water balloons filled with sand, then poke a hole in the front of it so the sand scatters. That would probably be my first go at it.

How about talking to the operator?
I also know that turning on a microwave sometimes has an effect on my WiFi...

Another idea would be a nerf football with the fins on it. Tie a string and throw it up at the drone. If the string catches a propeller that could bring it down. Again, it has to be low enough though.  Either that or get a sacrificial drone and kamikaze it into the drone.

Prime!!!

that's dumb

Always looking for a new target, especially if over my property................

Too many years ago while recovering from broken back surgery, I picked off colorful plastic clothes hanger clips from my parents' clothesline.  My ancient Beeman 850 pistol was deadly accurate at the 20 or so yards from a sitting position.

Cleaning up all the broken plastic bits was a PITA, but I was high on painkillers at the time.

May not move very fast, but it'd be fun to go after ....

A pressure washer with the smallest tip might have the range needed and definitely no issues about collateral damage. Don't shoot the power lines though.
