What if your neighbours climb on your roof and start banging on your windows at night?

Re the FAA rules, there's a clear difference between planes or helicopters going overhead at safe and relatively high altitudes* and drones flying at much lower ones. Occasional passes from hobby or semi-pro drones used by photographers are a minor irritation, but if drone delivery became a regular thing I can see how frequent low altitude flybys would quickly become maddening. relying on existing law for new circumstances generally yields poor results.
* I live quite near a hospital with a helipad so about once a month I have to deal with a helicopter coming under 100 feet (~35m) and making the walls shake.
I imagine it will remain ambiguous until a sufficiently public stunt forces the issue all the way up to SCOTUS and they determine a concrete minimum distance that must be maintained from structures.
Worth noting that in the US, castle law[1] is ardently defended and not something to be tested by FAFO.
Parent's point is that you should not apply that methodology in order to test the applicability of castle law in the US, since you might end up dead.
Pour encourager les autres and all that.
