A Boring Dystopia

It's an extension of noble privilege, like Fox Hunting.. Only rich people fly, so drones are as protected as rich people.

All depends on who is committing the crimes... You know that

You joke but it's really your only option that isn't a felony. There will be an faa investigation, but you won't immediately cop a felony.

Automated drone that automatically fly in front of the flock drone's camera to block its view, from the minimum safe/legal distance away. Multiple drones if that's too far to have a decent effect.

I doubt you could bump a drone out of the sky. Think you'd want to find a way to throw a stick in its spokes.

Those 12 dollar ones are less than 100 grams and are using WiFi and would not really put a dent in that drone. Maybe you fan fly it at the props of the survalience drone, but I doubt you can even reach the altitude the survalience drones where meant to run on. Micro drones are actually the best to learn on because they're so light its much harder to crash them. Once you are over 100-250 grams the force of the impact of a crash is much higher.

You need a 5 inch frame, something that can use 4s, or 6s batteries that pull more amps. and you're gonna want fpv if youre doing dog fights. A decent 5 inch frame you build yourself is around 400 with the camera, transmitter, flight controller, motors, props, battery, etc. The radio and fpv head set you can get for maybe 200, but you really want spend around 600 for those. Youre gonna be over the 250 gram flight limit before you gotta start doing legal shit, but fuck the FAA.

That and most of the "real" drones that arent just some bullshit dji consumer friendly drone don't fly easily. You get horizon, level, and acro. Acro is the mode you will actually use to fly, and you want at minimum a good 10-20 hours to be proficient enough to just hover/puts around without crashing. I'd say hitting another moving target is some where between 40-80 hours.
