                        NRS 200.571 HARASSMENT AND DRONES:

If an individual has been the victim of a stalking, harassment, abuse, assault, or any other act or threat of violence, he or she can file a protective order against the alleged offender. If granted, the order of protection will make it illegal for the adverse party (alleged offender) to contact, or come in contact with the applicant in any way.

We have the entire harassment law that obviously prohibits you from harassing someone. It clearly would apply if you are someone who was using a drone to harass someone you'd be violating this statute. It is a misdemeanor and you can get up to six months in jail for.

Definition (NRS 200.571)

1. A person is guilty of harassment if:

                                        

(a) Without lawful authority, the person knowingly threatens:

                                        

(1) To cause bodily injury in the future to the person threatened or to any other person; (2) To cause physical damage to the property of another person;

(3) To subject the person threatened or any other person to physical confinement or restraint; or

                                        

(4) To do any act which is intended to substantially harm the person threatened or any

                                        

other person with respect to his physical or mental health or safety; and

(b) The person by words or conduct places the person receiving the threat in reasonable fear that the threat will be carried out.
