I have a hard time believing that there are that many quads out there being used to stalk people.
Actually, the same FAA laws apply until drones are placed in a seperate category, which they really aren't.

Point is, that a shoot first and ask questions later policy by people may not be the best idea. At the very least, if you did this while I was flying legally...would make you liable for about 3000 dollars of damage to replace the copter. And I would go after the person in court and press charges if such a thing happened. Shoot my copter down, and you won't have a very good day. I'll have logs and video showing EXACTLY what I was doing.
