We need an expert on administrative regulations, civil law, and criminal law. In criminal law if a cop looks over your fence and sees a criminal offense the results are inadmissable in court. The same cop flies over and sees the same thing in an airplane it is admissable in court. It is about the "reasonable expectation of privacy" doctrine. The fence asks for privacy from the street level. The owner has not tried to be private from an airplane. Also, from a civil standpoint, there are mineral rights that exist only so far below your property. I wonder since we rarely consider there are minerals above our property if we have any legislation about what we own above our land. There is what I consider the odd concept that you may own the land below a river, but the flowing water is public and it is not trespassing to ride a river through a man's property.
