Good, companies have no need to be flying objects of any size into the airspace without proper training and authorization.
>wanting close to home constant surveillance
No thanks. Drones are cool but him shooting it down and not getting in trouble is a step in the right direction.
Shouldn't have been on private property anyways.
>shooting drones down
>not throwing one of these at them and stealing them
Such waste

Big corporations own the planes so no
>>51755004

>>51755049
Private property does not extended into airspace infinitely. However, the drone flew low enough for it to be considered a breach of private property.
>>51755063
Up to 83 feet according to the Ars article.
>>51755034
The issue being that it might not have been on his property and the judge didn't even care to find out.
Granted he was probably in the right. But I'm more concerned how such a lazy judge might have been be a deciding factor in drastic changes for hundreds of people lives.
>>51755034
Most american comment of the thread
>>51755004
If they were close enough, shooting them down would be illegal. AA missiles would be classed as destructive devices which I'm pretty sure are next to impossible for the average joe to own regardless of the cost of owning a functional AA platform, missile.

When anti-aircraft missiles are outlawed, only outlaws will have anti-aircraft missiles

Is there something wrong with that comment though?
Do you think it's okay for a drone to be flying anywhere on your personal property it wants and doing what it wants on there without your consent?
I know I don't and unless you're actively supporting complete and total government surveillance you shouldn't be okay with it either.
>>51755176
Do you realize how dumb you are right now?

>>51756489
Unless the drone user has successfully completed pilot school, taken all the regulation cert tests, and was cleared by the FAA for that flight that drone should not be in the air to begin with.
I've even go as far as wanting to see gps tracking on all authorized drones in order for the FAA to watch over them for abuse.
>>51756624
We'll have to do this with all of those mini rc helicopters that are popular these days too. Hell, might as well do the same for boomerangs and paper air planes while we're at it.
>>51756663
Rc helicopters are classified as drones.
A boomerang and paper air place are vastly different than a drone and if you can't see the difference then you are retarded.
>>51756624
unrelated but curious, do people need clearance before sending gopros into the stratosphere via hobby rocket/ ballons
>>51754805
>Weibe people have had enough
>>51756792
Rockets, yes they need to be cleared by the FAA depending on the altitude it'll reach.
Also you almost always need to be cleared by your local county before as well.
Large balloons like weather balloons are almost certainly the same
>>51754805
There's probably going to be laws passed soon in various places that will make it illegal to fly drones in residential areas.
>>51756624
That still doesn't deal with the issue of what qualifies as your property. Maybe I just don't know of the law, but in regards to drones and the like is there a property height minimum they must stay above? "Below the tree line" is ridiculously arbitrary.
The reason the guy shot the drone wasn't because he guy didn't have the correct certs or it wasn't cleared by the FAA, but that the guy considered it in his properly (as if that somehow constitutes a danger automatically).
>>51756864
Do you want 6,000 amazon drones flying at all hours over your house every single day.
the judge fucked up since she didnt even review all of the evidence, the logs (which can be edited so they arent very valuable) and there was actually a video of the crash was available, but in the end it was simply brought back to witnesses which are unreliable.
the only real precedence is that case with the 83 foot ceiling, and even that could be argued. however, if these things are considered aircraft does that mean the next time someone flies an ultralight over my house i can shoot at them and potentially kill them?
doesnt mean shit for drone delivery because anyone who actually knows about this stuff (aka: not dji owners) realize that drone delivery is 100% impractical
>>51757504
That 83 foot ceiling seems way too low to me. Hell, I've got trees on my property that are 100+ ft tall, does that mean that someone can build a treehouse in the top of one without my knowledge and then proceed to just camp out up there, getting supplies delivered by drone/helicopter while I can't even charge them with trespassing on my property unless I catch them below 83'?
>>51757552
Cut down the tree while they're up there.

Firefighters, paramedics and the like can't respond to emergencies via aircraft because fucking people and their drones keep getting in the way taking a video of the emergency and uploading them to their social media accounts.
>>51757504
According to the article the drone footage was edited to not show all the passes it made, so it was not a real credit at all. Sure it could show the last pass it made and got shot down, but that really does not explain anything to anyone that wasnt there.
>>51758199

common sense alone would tell you it's an invasion of privacy to fly around someones land filming shit without permission. fucker got what he deserved, also the judge had good reason not to admit the video
>>51755091
According to that city/state/county. Every place has a different height.
This is why the FAA wants to regulate drones. If a certain altitude is determined to be drone space shooting them down will become illegal, just like you aren't allowed to shoot down planes or helicopters flying legally over your property.
>>51756624
this
for everyone bitching about "too much regulation" there's a ceiling you have to cross to be in faa territory, and frankly anything below that ceiling is and invasion of privacy
>>51758327
The video was tampered with too so it's not even valid evidence
>>51758362
Will shooting high powered lasers at drones also be illegal?
My neighbor uses his drone over my house to video my penis and my brothers underage penis, could we shoot it down? Or is he allowed to do this?
>>51758395
hell bruh even using a laser pointer to point at the sky is illegal because it can blind commercial pilots
This is why we can't have flying cars
>>51758395
I'm not the FAA so I can't say.
>>51754805
Fuck you, allowing amazon drones is just one step to NSA drones or your asshole neighbor spying on you. If I see a fucking drone over my home, down it comes.
>>51758462
What if it flew at 250ft, then descended straight down onto the recipients land? Would that be an acceptable compromise?
>>51758422
How does that even work?
Does the laser spread upon hitting their windshield?
>>51758487
You will never be able to reason with these people.
>>51758487
Did I give you permission to descend?
>>51758487
if I see it hovering over my home, its fair game.
>>51758498
the laser spreads over distance I believe, it's small amount of spread but when you're talking a couple miles, that spread adds up
>>51758498
Its a meme, but seriouslt its a problem in dense urban areas where police/news/airports have low flying craft with millions of people under them, they cant have lasers flying at them all willy nilly, gotta scare the kids.
>>51758512
Lets say it was in the agreement you made with amazon by purchasing a product.
>>51758523
not a meme bruh, there was something about it on the news a few months ago, it doesn't permanently blind them but it can briefly affect their vision or distract them, if they report it the police will canvas the likely origin area to see if anybody saw anything and is willing to talk
>>51755034
Fair enough.
I'm gonna get me some 40mm flak cannons and take shots at airliners that fly over my house. My house my airspace. I don't give you clearance you don't fly over.
>>51758550
I think ive seen footage of kids pointing a laser at a police helicopter, and they had IR or something and could see the laser and had units roll up at the front door.
>>51758565
Sure, but discharging 40mm flak into FAA airspace might be a legal problem.
>>51758550
That's just legal mumbo jumbo.
How about not hiring pilots that are flying giant metal deathmachine that get distracted by pretty, shiny lights.
>>51758565
>implying you'd hit anything
even if your dumb ass had a cannon or whatever that would reach, you certainly aren't capable of determining how much to lead the target

>>51758550
Professional pilots wear aviator sunglasses to prevent bright lights from obscuring vision :^)
>>51758586

>>51758603
I'll use missiles then. I'm an EE, it shouldn't be that hard to get some SAMs working.
>>51758636
I do. I own all mineral rights to my land extending down to the center of the Earth. All other claims to said land are invalid. People who rent aren't have no space over the air above or the land below their dwelling. How that is handled is up to the jurisdiction of the landlord.
>>51756624

The recoil would probably make the drone fall out of the sky after the first shot.
If you retards start shooting down drones, people are going to start putting weapons on their drones.
Why would they let you damage their property? Especially considering the most common use of drones is going to be telepresence drones. Why go out into a dangerous city and risk being hurt by a thug or encounter gang violence when you can simply send your telepresence drone and explore the world from the safety of your home? You start fucking with people's drones and they're gonna fight back.
>>51755034
>MUH PROPERDAY
>>51759154
It's illegal in most places to discharge a firearm in the city limits anyways so that won't be an issue. They have no excuse to be flying their drone low over my 20 acres in the country though and I will shoot it down if I see a drone flying over my property regularly.
>>51759154
>people are going to start putting weapons on their drones
Even if they did, it won't matter. What's a drone going to do? Shoot at someone that fires a few gunshots at it? That's not going to fly in court.
>>51755034
Turkey is that you?
>>51759272
You know what else won't fly in court?
Terrorists and other mentally ill people who strap bombs to them and fly them into crowded areas. Guess how many fucks they will give about your court.
>>51759304
You do realize that there's literally nothing stopping a terrorist from doing that right now right? What's your point?
FUCK YES
Fuck drone owners who try to fly shit above private property, they can go to the park or public spaces for that.
>>51758796
>you come at the king, you'd best not miss
My sides weren't ready
>>51759272
Police drones are already authorized to carry tasers and other weapons. It wouldn't be a stretch for private companies using these drones to request a police drone escort for exactly this situation.
>>51758001
That drone is not a quadcopter like the earlier videos. It's a VTOL craft.
>>51759344
This. There's a county park out by the lake near where I live that has had RC aircraft facilities for like 30 years. There's a small asphalt runway, a covered awning, a couple of bathrooms, and a large lawn area for spectators. They hold RC plane/helicopter competitions there occasionally and they'll set up a concession stand and bring in some stadium seating, my dad used to take me out there when I was a kid, it was really neat. There's no reason for people to be flying their spy-drones over my house/yard.
>>51759437
If you're dumb enough to fire at a police drone, you deserve it.
>>51759464
> There's no reason for people to be flying their spy-drones over my house/yard.
What if the your house happens to be in-between the best flight path between the "spy-drone"'s home location and the pizza shop it's trying to get a delivery from? You can't assume it's trying to spy on you.
Hell the drones will probably all have public profiles you can ping to see who they are and where they're going. It's not like they're going to let this go completely unregulated.
>>51759335
Yes you're right, we should keep it so the barrier of entry is basically the cost of buying the drone so any idiot can turn themselves into a flying weapons .
Why even regulate anything when terrorists can just get around it, amirite?
>>51759563
RC helicopters have been a thing for decades. Any moron can strap a bomb to one and fly it into a crowd.
>>51759587
RC helicopters have a very limited range compared to a drone and they also have very little carrying capacity.
Modern drones are much better in all regards.
I mean really why even have laws?
Terrorists and criminals just ignore them so it's not like it stops them.
>>51759552
Then they can fly over at 1000', the same minimum suggested altitude (for safety purposes) as regular aircraft. Or hell, even 500' wouldn't bother me too much. I'd have a major problem with them flying below the tree-tops though.
Realistically, a shotgun's maximum effective range when using loads made for duck or geese (the same loads I would choose for drone-shooting) is only around 70 yards, so a drone flying at 250'-300' above ground level wouldn't have anything to fear from most gun-toting bubba's.
>>51758565
That's not at all the same thing and you know it you shit chugger
>>51759673
Why use a shotgun when you also could use .308?
>>51759731
Because it's extremely irresponsible to shoot intermediate or high powered rifles into the air. It's also next to impossible to hit a target flying through the air with a rifle.
>>51759673
>most gun-toting bubba's.
Most gun-toting bubbas would have a selection of shot sizes available. Buckshot would reach, so would brenneke.
>>51759587
>Any moron can strap a bomb to one and fly it into a crowd.
You couldn't get the things to carry more than a few hundred grams.
Some current generation cellphones would be too heavy for them.
>>51760160
Yes, buckshot would reach but 00-buck in regular 12ga shells only have 9 pellets, 3" magnum shells only hold 12 pellets and 3.5" magnum shells hold 18 pellets. At 70+ yards the pattern will be so wide and shot density so low that it will be pure luck to have a pellet hit the drone unless you use an extremely tight choke (like an overfull turkey choke) and then you're going to have trouble hitting a target flying in the air because your pattern will be too small, even moreso if you try to use slugs.
>>51759464

Good luck fighting that shit, and even more luck to drag a company like Amazon yo claims court over it too.
Drones are fucking stupid as a means of delivery other than military or federal needs. This is because only military and federal are allowed large enough drones that can/are allowed to fly high enough to be viable. Rather have a careless delivery driver than a drone that miscalculated its height and dropped my fragile package on my porch from 8 feet in the air.
>>51759464

these threads are always so cute because people here try to act like they are land owners in the first place, and then act like tough guys where they will finally use their non existent guns to stick it to the man or some stupid shit
>>51758254
How the fuck does a drone impede them from doing their jobs? A big ass helicopter, versus a tiny little drone. You do the math.
Also, it's the same as being on the road. If a fire truck is responding to an emergency, and you don't pull over when you hear it, and they hit you, it's your fault. Although in the case of a drone getting hit by a helicopter, there wouldn't be near as much damage to the helicopter.
>>51760543
Why don't you read the fucking article instead of being an idiot?
>"As soon as we see drones, we shut down all of our aircraft for the safety reasons ... If a drone got sucked into a wing or a propeller, that could have some serious impacts."
>>51760543
dont be stupid, while the odds of one of those things damaging a rotor is small, a collision could cause a crash if it hits the windscreen or gets inducted into the fan of a turbine, having something like that flying around active aircraft is 100% fucking retarded.
and if anyone bothered to actually look into those firefighting stories, they would realize that the 'drones' in question were RC aircraft operating at a designated rc aircraft area. the police showed up, told them what was happening, and they stopped. it is as simple as that
do you think people had fucking phantoms sitting in their cars, batteries charged, and just happened to be there? fuck no, not to mention once those things get 500 feet in the air you can barely see it in the sky, much less go to 1000+ feet and be able to have any sort of control over it without the proper video feed being sent back
>>51760318
It's almost 2016. Must we still live as fucking savages?

>>51760680
I never said it was a good idea to fly a drone next to active aircraft. I was simply stating that it most likely wouldn't cause much damage to a fucking helicopter.
Good, they stopped after they were told to. What's your point?
Nope. Never said that.

fact is, if it could have been shot down, it was too close
if someone flew a drone onto my land i could easily and legally shoot it down, and get the drone owner fucked over by fish and wildlife
>>51760764
i wasnt anyone you were talking to earlier, but my main point was those news articles were grossly misrepresenting what was going on and what was actually in the air
and a collision between one of those things and a real aircraft is nothing to be understated and there is a reason a pilot would be weary. you could relate it to fucking birds or something, but birds will at least try to get the fuck out of the way instead of going in for a good shot
>>51760764
>I was simply stating that it most likely wouldn't cause much damage to a fucking helicopter.
On the off-chance it does do damage to the helicopter you're looking at losing a multi-million dollar aircraft along with everyone on board and possibly innocent bystanders on the ground that it crashes into.
Even if it didn't do "much" damage, a small amount of damage to a helicopter can easily cost thousands of dollars to repair and the aircraft will be grounded until it can be inspected by certified aircraft technicians so the owner/operator would lose out on flight time / profits until it was cleared to fly again. The FAA is very strict when it comes to things like this and there are guidelines that pilots must follow when encountering obstructions and other potential hazards while in flight and the pilot could lose his pilot's license if he chooses to ignore those guidelines.
what fucking states allow legal firearm discharges within 150 feet of housing?

>>51760945
If you've actually read into what happened, this is basically what happened:
>Redneck hates drones thinking all people do with is is snoop on their neighbors
>Neighbor gets a drone to play around with
>Neighbor starts doing aerial photography with it
>Always flies at about 200 feet
>One day as he's doing aerial photography at 200 feet the connection from the drone to the controller drops
>Drone is programmed to return to where it set off if the connection is broken
>Redneck saw drone fly past his house
>Goes in to get his gun
>As he's coming out the drone's coming the other way after the connection broke
>Redneck shoots the drone with his hunting rifle and it comes plummeting down
>Lands pretty close to the edge of his property
>Neighbor and his friend come to retrieve their drone
>Redneck threatens to shoot them with his handgun if they try to retrieve their property
>Claims that the drone was hovering over his house at under treetop level and filming his daughter sunbathing
>On-board camera and telemetry show that none of this was true
>Didn't hover over his house, flew at 200 feet (i.e well above the tree line) and didn't end up on his land until he shot it down
>Thing went to court
>Neighbors of the redneck naturally say the same thing when they're called as eye witnesses (neighbor who owned the drone didn't get to call eye witnesses and actually had to leave the court room for most of the trial)
>Judge didn't even look at the telemetry or the video recorded by the on-board camera or declare them inadmissible as evidence
>Drone owner will naturally now sue the redneck in civil court he's got the camera footage and telemetry to prove that the drone didn't fly over his house until after he had shot it

It's not on his property

They do in Texas at least.

Then they'll just fly over the streets and public area.

>>51761095
It's illegal to shoot from or across public roads though anon.
>>51761134
>hitting a moving target the size of a dinner plate at 200 feet with a rifle
I don't buy it
It's simply too unlikely that even with a shotgun he could shoot it out of the sky if it was as high as they say
>>51757412
drones are a real issue.Imagine if cartels steal amazon drones and use em to smuggle drugs
>>51761212
he says he used a 12 gauge shotgun, with no. 8 birdshot. From the drone damage he got fucking lucky and a pellet hit one of the props.
>>51761191
>implying there isn't
>implying you're not missing the point by a mile with your autism
>>51755034
>Thing never even flew over his property
>Was literally just flying past his property over public land when he shot it down
>Threatened the owner of the drone and his friend with a gun when they tried to get their downed drone
>Evidence was right there on the on-board camera and telemetry
>Judge didn't even bother looking at it and just took the redneck's and his neighbors word for it
>>51761248
>implying I wasn't just trying to trigger you
>>51761237
8 shot will hardly bring a dove down at 50 yards though.
>>51761134
Yeah the on board video that was edited as the article states is great evidence. ..
>yeah I didn't do muffin just look at the video and data I edited to show so
>>51761268
exactly! I am just telling you what he says. Didn't say that I believe it.
God, my family is fucking weird. I never expected to flip on CNN one day and see him there.

>God, my family is fucking weird. I never expected to flip on CNN one day and see him there.
Are you saying what I think you're saying? You're related to this guy?
>>51761268
Once again, it hit one of the propellers and it was enough to take it down.
>>51761269
The video may have been edited to cut out parts where nothing happened, but still clearly shows that the drone was well above the tree tops and not hovering over his property filming his daughter suntanning like the redneck claimed. Telemetry on the other hand was completely intact and confirms the story.
>>51761262
>"That video he shows, that thing looks a mile high, but considering that no one else besides him had the drone and footage in their possession for four days—we don’t know which drone that video was made from,"
>>51761134
>He even admitted that that was his first day flying it

Yes, he's my cousin. Sad to say. How else do you think I was able to post this: >>51761144

See >>51761398
Don't withhold evidence or edit it if you want it taken seriously.
>>51761398
Because the fucking Hillview police were too stupid to confiscate the drone and hold it as evidence. But then, anyone who is familiar with that county and that city wouldn't be surprised
>>51761416
>some dude that browses /g/ is related to a guy in the headline
Wow what a twist.

iknorite...you would not believe the shit I still get at work over this. I work with a bunch of right wing gun nuts and they were all over this fucking story. "Hey did you hear about the guy in Kentucky who shot down that drone" is how it started...all I could do was facepalm
>>51761433
Should have given the data to the police that same day when they were called and the drone was recovered.
Taking it home, and possibly tampering with any of it or using another previous one is a sure fire way to get thrown out in court.
>>51761485
>Taking it home, and possibly tampering with any of it or using another previous one is a sure fire way to get thrown out in court.
Yeah this desu. You can't just submit evidence on the spot. You have to be sure it's not tampered with.
So how would you go about making a way to knock these down? i was thinking a turret from a laser cutter and having it track them. would the beam be enough to roast a drone from a couple hundred feet?
>>51761462
...well he doesn't have that many facebook friends, for one
>>51761485
I agree
>>51759154
Why are you on my property?
For all I know, you could have peeping tom cameras and shit to spy on my wife when she's dressing up.
Gave some anon here an idea huh?
It's gonna be like the 80's peeping tom boys all over again.
>drone user gets his drone shot down on the first day in use
>redneck goes to jail for a night because of it
>drone user finds out redneck doesn't have to pay for the drone because that's not how the law works and he didn't realize that would need to be a personal claim
>drone user gets BTFO
>throwing a sissy fit that he won't be getting his drone replaced and claims he will appeal

Seriously, they're amazing when it comes to dragging their feet and hoping things just go away. I bet Michael HueHueHuerta doesn't even like planes.

Can't people legally film your property?
>>51754922
Then why weren't rc helicopters, model rockets, or on string model planes banned. They're no different than a drone, and like toys have been around since the 20's
>>51762866
the difference is cameras, it becomes an invasion of privacy issue and should be a criminal offense just that same as peeping, and secretly recording people in private situations
>>51762866
All of which are well regulated and have designated areas.
Small time toys are just an exception to the rule and are practically no harm nor do they go that far.
If you actually were big into bigger model planes, let alone rockets, you'd know that there are lots of rules in place on what you have to legally do when operating them.
>>51756624
>pilot school for a fucking drone
Nigga get your driver's license if you want to drive an RC toy car.
>>51762882
I believe you mean the low cost of cameras, not cameras in general, so I guess you have a point.
>>51762894
Idk where you live, but from my childhood, and time spent with my cousins son, these regulations are very loose in most of NA. unregulated, and cheap model planes and rockets with large potential for damage have been available for a while.
Then again, my experience only spans Canada, and the northern 20 or so states.
>>51761398
>we don’t know which drone that video was made from
Actually we do, if he wasn't a complete technophobe he'd know telemetry has things like serial numbers, recording dates and times, etc. You can say that those can be faked, but I can say the same for the neighbour's statement.
>>51761515
>cousin
It hurts to laught right now
>>51761043
>just have them fly over the roads
That totally defeats the purpose
>>51763046
But they won't get stuck in traffic, unless it is drone traffic.
>>51762987
you don't have to be related to him. There are many good reasons why I escaped from Kentucky
>>51758512
You (don't) have my permission to fly.

#8 shot @ 200+ feet cannot even go through paper
i am willing right now to stand at 200 feet and have you shoot me with #8 shot
>>51762771
drones violate reasonable privacy
you cant even stand on a ladder and take footage of someone elses land. homeowners with strangely placed security cameras need to obscure others property before publishing
Well, I found out today that /g/ is a bunch of limpwristed NEETs who probably share reddit memes with their friends about how mean and scary those republicans are

Then you should have no problem with other people shooting down your drone, if they feel threatened by it.
