ACV92 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Leaning away from the audio realm, I have to air my disdain for drones with cameras on them. Tonight, I'm in the backyard with one of my daughters and a drone comes flying above our yard, but not over our yard. We live at the back corner of an elementary schoolyard. The drone was over the schoolyard, not over my property, yet it hovers, rotates to where I can see the lens aiming at me, and holds it's position. The operator repeats this scenario a couple of more times. At this point, I want to kick somebody's a**. I want to remove the drone's ability to fly via Remington. Don't own one, but I'd buy one for this purpose. Ultimately, in my eyes, my privacy has been violated. I know we're in the age of cameras everywhere, but when is it too much? If there were drones flying around with no cameras, I'd have no issue. Every generation loses more of their civil liberties. It's OK to them because it's what they know. Remember to teach what patriotism and freedom mean. Crucial. OK, I feel better now. Back to the music. All hail Klipsch..... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Chi-town Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Absolutely, drones are always in season. If you lived closer I would come over and do it myself for you. Great target practice..... Best regards, John 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rxonmymind Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 One gent did just this. His daughter was sunbathing in the backyard and her daughter cam in telling her dad a drone was over their yard with a big camera. Dad came out and shot it. He called the cops and in the meantime the operator of the drone comes over steaming pissed and picks up his drone yelling at the guy that he'll be paying for his $2000 drone. Three of his buddies start to walk towards him on his property and dad calmly tells them "you step foot on my driveway I'll shoot all of you for threatening my daughter and I". They stopped. Cops arrested dad for unlawful discharge of a firearm blah, blah, blah. Went to court and paid the fine. What NOBODY did and should have was to remove the memory from the drones camera as evidence. If you do shoot one save the drone as evidence!! Peeping Toms and perverts need to be checked. It would be different if it was a quick fly by and your moving on. But the above drone operator was there long enough to alert the daughter who in turn went to tell her dad. Dad came out confirmed it, went back into his home got the shotgun and walked out and the drone was still there. That's a long time. I see a problem of discharging a firearm. I get it even if I don't like it. On the other hand I'd ask the judge for that drone operator to be "booked" and restricted from using any drone for a some time. Just like a hacker getting caught breaking into your home via computer. There's got to be some fair discipline for both parties. Same with high rise buildings. You have a lady taking a shower on the twentieth story where you expect privacy and here comes a drone. NOT that I'd shoot it even if I was on the balcony and it was directly in front of me as the drones fall MIGHT harm people below. But if that operator was caught I'd file against him. There HAS to be a law against that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the year 2017, while i completely agree with you this is a violation of your privacy, if the drone operator was watching, or recording, i think there is not much you could do, i read somewhere that a guy shot a drone and he got in trouble.. At this time there is an entire gray area of where a drone can and can't do..Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muel Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 They used to be called peeping toms. They should be handled accordingly. The bad thing about your daughter outside is that legally I don't know that you have a reasonable expectation of privacy unless you are inside. People are brave with this kind of stuff since they can hide at a distance and you can't tell who they are... kind of like the Internet. Given time and creative thought I'm sure we can come up with a good response to this that will stay within the law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJK If there is a way to take them OUT or upset the operator, this is the ticket. None can be bought off the shelf, you need to know electronics or someone who does. Plan on up to $400. The Drone in operation can/will do many things, none of them the operator will like. The biggie of this type of device is you can NOT talk about it! Jammers can put you in jail.

muel Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Shooting over a school yard is a really bad idea!

CECAA850 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 $1400 will keep them 600m from your house. As demand rises, cost should go down. This is just the first one in my search also, there may be cheaper ones than this. http://jammers4u.com/drones-jammer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richieb Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Our first inclination is to "shoot the damn thing down" but for all of us city/suburban dwellers that's just not a good or legal idea. I imagine every city has a firearms code within city limits. A while back I was telling LEO son that I was plinking in my backyard with a pellet gun, a damn good one with a fair amount of pop. He looked at me and said "you can't do that in the city, its against the law". He said when neighbors see you it looks like you're shooting a real gun, then they call the cops, I show up with a disturbance call of a man in his back yard with a gun. I walk around and see you with a "gun" in your hand and from then on it can become very dicey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
