I imagine one of my neighbors will shoot down his drone because it is hovering over their pool watching the girls sunbathing on the deck. (the suggestion has already been made) To check how serious and responsible he is, ask him to show you the identification he's put on the aircraft - name, phone number, etc., in case the aircraft gets away from him. If you also got the suggestion going that this thing might actually be dangerous, they might claim self defense. ;-) Show them some of the videos with the injuries. That'll bolster their 'self-defense' case. Besides, it seems like buckshot would be pretty hard to trace. -- In many parts of the country, you cannot discharge a firearm in your backyard, even if you are trying to shoot down an annoying, intrusive, privately owned drone that is hovering. Of course. What's needed is some sort of "disruptor" electronic device that would simply cause the nasty little devices to crash in your yard, so you could pick them up and stuff them in the trash can. The idea of a 'jammer' was discussed. As Greg mentioned, jammers are potentially big problems around airfields. We have a couple of kids in the neighborhood who fly their planes and drones over an empty lot that has become a sort of ad hoc playground. Perfectly acceptable. Flying on privately owned property is a good way to go. Somewhere up in MD is an RC field which is on land owned by a lady who rents the field to the RC club. It's when the government gets involved that the responsible flyers get hurt. Those kids aren't the assholes causing problems, and therefore don't need a lot of unnecessary 'regulations'. Much like gun-control...the ones who suffer are the law-abiding citizens. The assholes flying their multirotors in the path of aircraft are causing the demands for more laws - which will probably be unenforceable or unenforced. -- Ban idiots, not guns! |
