This is the 21st century…
Yes, those are illegal to possess, much less use, and they are fairly easily triangulated.
Due to the wifi/5g black hole they will indiscriminately create within their effective radius.
Build and turn on one of those and you'll be geolocated nearly instantly, and then go to jail for quite a long time.
You would also be arrested for skeet shooting a police drone… given that my argument was about the safety of that not the legality I’m not sure what you are on about.
Ah, no, not if you know how to shoot something while also being not easily identifiable on camera, from a location you are not associated with.
Did you think about how creating an 1/8 to 1/4 mile telecomm blackhole might cause some injuries or perhaps deaths?
Maybe one of your neighbors was having a medical emergency, might have been useful for them or someone nearby to be able to use their phone, have EMS dial in to their location, get there real fast?
No, you didn't, otherwise you'd not be unsure of what I'm on about.
Anyway best of luck with your purchase history.
You are making a lot of assumptions about your ability to kill all the electronics onboard in one shot and assuming that one drone will be the only one in the air…
Best of luck with your “good ‘ol boy” solutions.
You don't know anything about guns or electronics, or the relevant laws, or level of police attention they garner, so yeah, sure, just keep imagining you have any idea what you are talking about, that'll work.
Let's see them triangulate this unexpected event and get the pigs to that location.
It takes 30 seconds to crash those drones and you're out.
