Harassment Experiences; Plane and Helicopter Flyovers / Drone Flyovers - Targeted Individuals

Helicopter Flyover
On January 9th 2026, we ran an X Poll on our X account @TheEverydayBrit where we asked the following question:

To Targeted Individuals:

As a Targeted Individual, have you been subject to any of the following harassment experiences?

Plane & Helicopter Flyovers, or Drone Flyovers.

44 People responded.

- 39 people (88.6%) stated they had been subject to plane & helicopter flyovers.

- 27 people (61.4%) stated they had been subject to drone flyovers.

As can be seen from the results, plane and helicopter flyovers are certainly a common experience amongst those targeted individuals which responded.

Drone flyovers are lesser so than plane and helicopter flyovers but still very significant at nearly 62%.

The plane and helicopter flyovers, together with the drone flyovers, are just one of many experiences which targeted individuals are reporting.

As far as drone flyovers are concerned, there are different laws in different countries about what is permissible in terms of flying over someone's property and their person. You may want to check your own local laws and country laws to see what is permissible. However, as a targeted individual, it might be the case that you won't get very far even if you did decide to utilise this route. However, it's always worth a look at the regulations if you are being subjected to drone flyovers to at least see what the legal situation is and what you can and cannot do.

You could also think about some practical things for your garden, such as building a structure or structures or planting trees or vegetation, which will provide better privacy and provide some form of overhead canopy which can also act as a privacy screen. Certainly, if you have a garden, doing some of these things can be relatively straightforward if you have a bit of DIY experience 👍

If you've made some adjustments in your garden, please let us know what you've done in the comments below.
