Anti-Drone Rounds

[dreamunelk]

We definitely need some serious drone control.  If a drone just flies over your property I say not a big deal.  If it hangs out then we have an issue.  What are they doing?  Is there a camera?  Seams to me there is a point where they are a nuisance or worse.  I have a secluded back yard.  I should not have to deal with the  ? who want to watch what I am doing.
To many freedoms with drones and it will be a great way for people to mess with you hunting or other personal freedoms.  While I think they would be fun their are to many creeps and others that will abuse them.

I have a right to privacy...and a drone out side my window is a direct invasion of that

If you don't plan on spying on me then you shouldn't have to worry bout your drone getting shot down

How can he spy with a camera-less "drone"? How will you guys tell the difference between ones flying around with or without cameras? They used to be fun toys until the camera attachments got involved lol.

The drone flying around with out cameras likely will not loiter over my house or me no matter where I am at!
Maybe that is how a law should read.  A person who shoots a drone without a camera is responsible for replacement cost of said drone.
I'll take my changes on which drone I shoot!

5 shot would work great. Then in the garbage can. What drone?

Hmm kinda sounds to me like you contradicted yourself. So having the freedom, to fly a drone for whatever reason... May mess with your freedom?
So your saying I shouldn't have the freedom to have freedom?
Kinda lost me there.
So just to throw this out there, If one of you shoot's down a lets say for example DJI Phantom 3 with new cameras, gimbals, etc.. Your looking at $1800+ easy.
So at that point your possibly facing 1st degree destruction of property and or 1st degree malicious mischief. Whether or not you would be convicted of it is a different story. By why bother, cause there's a hovering toy in the neighborhood?
1st Degree Malicious Mischief.
1. Caused physical damage to someone else’s property where the damage was valued at more than $1,500,
2. Caused an interruption or impairment of public service by damaging or tampering with an emergency vehicle, property of the state, a public utility, public transportation, power, or communication, or
3. Caused an impairment of safety or efficiency of an aircraft by damaging or tampering with the equipment, fuel, lubricant, or parts.
According to the FAA a drone is an aircraft.

The crimes are still the same, they are RC aircraft not really drones so there is still a human doing the crime--trespassing, harassment, voyeurism, scouting for theft, etc.

OMG! The hysterics.  I just thought it was a neat and well-thought out development. But it's mostly just a novelty item, IMO. 

Did anyone actually read the description?

Bolos, I like the idea of Bolos for actual self defense.

Why would a drone with out a camera be spying on me ? I could care less about people that use there drones with good intentions..it's kind of cool in some ways...but i believe there's a time and a place for them and my backyard is not one of them..I also feel my right to privacy is more important than "your" right to spy on me.
So the "property" that your using to spy on me is now just an accessory to the crime

 I consider this a slippery slope with property rights...and don't see the angle on why someone should be able to fly a drone on my property..I don't pay property tax for other people to pester me...so I'm going to shoot it down

It's just my opinion but i think there is big portion of the population agrees with me so I can't be too far off

I think drones are sort of the "new" binoculars/scopes/telescopes "oh my gawd someone is watching me" of today.  Reality I can watch you in your yard with my hunting binos if I choose to, I don't.  Believe it or not 99% of people out there do not even know you exist let alone have any desire to spy on you.  Game cameras pose the same problem strangers taking pictures of me when I don't expect to be photographed its an incredibly violating thing to know is in the woods, where I used to go for peace and solace.  Now I worry there is a stupid camera behind every tree.  Heck a drone I can see and will know its there at least those I stand a chance of avoiding.  Game cameras not so much photographed without my consent is bothersome.

I will voyeur the heck out of you people on the boats in front of my house as do the other 100 plus houses on the hill behind me.    Boaters are fair game we wanna see what you all are catching and oggle your boats.  You have been warned. 


I know a guy who is building and doing custom paint and flying drones, he gets some cool footage of the greater Monte area.  The old cooling towers look cool beans from drone perspective.

He's a heck of a good painter and artist isn't he. The pictures I've seen make it look like pretty interesting hobby, but mostly to take interesting pictures and get a Birdseye view of the land you can't normally see. I understand why people don't want them on their private property

[scoyoc5]

I look at it as a respect issue. For me this falls under the category of " just because you can doesn't mean that you should".... legally does somebody have the right to fly these things in my backyard? IDK but It certainly shows what kind of morals a person has if they enjoy pissing people off with them.

[fishngamereaper]

Kind of depends of the situation. If you live in a neighborhood with houses 10 feet apart than the expectation of privacy is less. For me I live on 6 acres. My house is in the middle and not visible from the road. You cannot see my house or yard without trespassing. I see a drone hovering over my house its being used for no good and its coming down.

Im not a droner, dronie or whatever you are called, so I don't know what reason there would be to fly a drone over other peoples property. Keep it in your yard, go to a park, go into the wilderness seems pretty simple. Hover over someone's property don't expect to get it back.

As for reporting it to LE. It could be used just as much against you. Officer X " Sir I got a report you shot down a drone" Yep, here you go. Take it back to the owner and I want to press charges for Harassment. The thing was flying all over my yard, scaring my kids and bothering my dog. It was also chasing deer and a bald eagle.

"The rounds for the 12ga 3 1/2″ Magnum can ascend 300ft, and achieve a 9 ft diameter, while the 2 3/4″ rounds can achieve a 5ft diameter.  Once they reach the apex of their ascent, the parachute down slowly enough to be caught in one’s hand."

Coming down slowly enough to be caught in one hand.  That is interesting in itself. 
I surmise that would gain favor with a jury if you found yourself in court.

Kind of curious, if someone fly's a drone over private property and the property owner shoots it down, how does the drone owner gain access or prove it is located on said property, or to retrieve the broken pieces without themselves breaking the law by trespassing?

They would be trespassing.  Just throw the drone pieces in the wood chipper, or practice your 3S procedures.
