Idk if anyone had a similar problem before, but I live in EU by the countryside, at first there were only a few but now it happens more and more often to see drones passing over my house, I am sure they are civilian drones because law enforcement has no reason to use them since the area is quiet (and honestly I doubt they would be able to do so), however it bothers me enough to know that there are people who get over the fence and enter my property going to look at what they want, does anyone have any advice on what to do?

How is it trespassing? How far up do you "own" ? 5m , 200m, 1000km?

On the other hand, get a another drone and play chasey wott theirs, maybe and some talons to yours and swoop, eagle style ?

E.g. in germany it is not allowed to fly over private property with a drone (equipped with a camera), no matter the height. You have to stay above offical streets. And maximum flight hight is 120 m, if I remember correctly.

I guess it's EU law, so it should be simmilar in other EU countries.

Next CIA satellite over my house, I will legally shoot down with mu pulse laser !

In Germany you are only allowed to shoot your pulse laser with 24 giga-watt max. I guess it's an EU law, so should be the same for all of europe.

Trespass can mean merely imposing on the rights of another.

So if one is entitled to privacy on their property, then flying a drone over it is trespass.
