At least one US case was thrown out after a homeowner shot down a drone
due to invasion of privacy. That sets precedence.

that was because it was creeping on his teenage daughter by the pool.

The ruling cited privacy. What that privacy is is irrelevant.

it's not irrelevant. he said that if it just flew over his property or
if it was much higher (where it couldn't get closeup views of his
daughter), he wouldn't have bothered.

the fact that it was low enough and close enough to creep on her was
why he took action.
