The police told me it is difficult to prove they are taking photographs.
What is horrible is it did'nt just fly over it hovered over our garden for some time, at a height that would make it difficult to hit with a baseball bat or anything else.
What you basically have in your garden is a great use of Airsnore and a 'peeping Tom' who is observing your children.
The truth is that a lot of these drone actually have quite a short battery life of about 20-30 minutes.What is horrible is it did'nt just fly over it hovered over our garden for some time, at a height that would make it difficult to hit with a baseball bat or anything else.

So if you can just keep track of it for that amount of time then pretty soon it's going to have to land and you can see who comes to pick it up. It may just be kids themselves.

There are a couple of other options. If you can see the camera lens, fire a laser pointer at it...What is horrible is it did'nt just fly over it hovered over our garden for some time, at a height that would make it difficult to hit with a baseball bat or anything else.

or on the more expensive side a frequency jammer that covers the frequencies that they use.
I believe for control it's the 35 MHz band (34.945 to 35.305MHZ) is dedicated solely to aeronautical modelling. Whilst video is carried on either 2.4Ghz or 5.8Ghz ( http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/spectr ... ces/ofw311 )

That's not correct - there is privacy law in the UK, and lots of recent case law on it. A particularly useful quote is from Mr Justice Eady in CTB v NGN and Thomas: "The modern law of privacy is not concerned solely with information or secrets: it is also concerned importantly with intrusion."As far as I'm aware, there are no privacy laws in the UK.
Most of the cases are quite widely reported in the media - they tend to be celebrities looking for an injunction. The most recent example is PJS v NGN a couple months ago:

That would probably constitute criminal damage, not to mention destroying the evidence!If it's low enough then nothing that a baseball bat or a 2x4 can't cure
Two wrongs don't make a right
Was trolling the interweb this morning and found a few things out:
For example what is considered "your" airspace
http://www.inbrief.co.uk/land-law/land-ownership/S. 76 Civil Aviation Act 1982 states that ‘the lower stratum is unlikely to extend beyond an altitude of much more than 500 or 1,000 feet above roof level, this being roughly the minimum permissible distance for normal overflying by any aircraft’ (Rules of the Air Regulations 2007, Sch 1, s. 3(5)).
Also there is a database of zones where drones are not allowed to be flown http://www.noflydrones.co.uk
Anyone interested can see he current CAA rules/guidance on model aircraft/drones https://www.caa.co.uk/Consumers/Model-a ... ng-drones/
and unmanned aircraft http://www.caa.co.uk/unmannedaircraft/
Personally if my kids where playing in a pool and a drone with a camera came over my property it wouldn't last long.

Finders keepers right, on your land (well above) etc etc...
You certainly wouldn't need to hurry to return it

I hope parliament issues guidelines quickly to protect us all from these horrible machines.
There are already guidelines regarding droneshttps://www.caa.co.uk/Commercial-indust ... -Aircraft/
It would appear that the operator of the machine may well have breached these.
As far as I'm aware, there are no privacy laws in the UK.I have reported you to the police for a gross invasion of my privacy,

If you were operating that drone I am warning you I have reported you to the police for a gross invasion of my privacy, were you taking pictures of my children?
