I wouldn't shoot them down because that could get you in real trouble.
However, there are many jammers being offered for sale on the 'net that
could cause some problems for a nosy neighbor. I don't anticipate ever
having an issue but it's sorta fun to think about having one hovering
around in our backyard and hitting the "on" button on a jammer.

WA smart one would just go home if the uplink was jammed.

That's if the jamming doesn't cause it to crash first. Based on the
videos I've seen of those things, they react very quickly to control
inputs, or lack of.

As Wayne mentioned I suspect that if the RC craze continues and more
incidents of "spying" in a neighbor's back yard occur some restrictions
will be legislated on their use. It's one thing for Google to be
taking static satellite photos augmented with aircraft/helicopter images
to generate maps of the entire world. But a "hobbyist" purposely
targeting someone's backyard or house from 200 feet and video recording
the "visit" is another thing altogether, plus the annoyance of having it
and it's noise hovering in your yard. Given the lack of federal (FAA)
regulations and state regulations many towns have already enacted
ordinances governing their use. It's common sense.

It might be illegal to down one by shooting it but who's going to prove
you jammed it?
