If you think that anyone but you can run your life you are mentally ill.

I am sure you are one of the good Nazi's no?

But you're right -there need to be solid laws against what a drone can and cannot carry, where it can and cannot monitor, etc.

Of course, they're just going to send the guys with those funny jackets

The drone is in the sky tonight.

Hmmm, could make a song out of that...

nt.

It could be just an Amazon delivery (ha, like that will happen), or a kid playing with a radio-controlled toy. If you shoot it down you could be in a lot of trouble, regardless. I guess if I saw one hovering around and I didn't know what it was I'd take a picture of it and contact the police. Current FAA rules require drones to be operated within visual contact of the operator, so chances are whoever is flying the thing won't be far away.

again. I don't worry about Amazon or kids they cannot afford the loss.

If there is a drone crash over your property and someone is injured who is liable? Government seldom is when they are doing spooky stuff.

I just at a thought. All the NRA types love to shoot at anything that moves. We should encourage them to shoot down drones as being patriotic.

If it's at your window, I would go with creepy neighbor instead. I'm expert with creepy neighbors at this point.

If the Drone is unarmed, shoot it down.

though buckshot would probably do it.

Full speed ahead.

I say flamethrowers.

My bass player has a a space ship hovering over his trailer. He sits around his bonfire with ancient Apache warriors and they rebuff said spaceship, this on on nightly basis. Rest easy, he's got it under control.

If it is a government operated drone it will be 1 - 3 miles away and whoever operates it privacy laws apply.

Why weren't you asked? Because you don't object to a neighbour flying model aircraft and that is all the vast majority of "drones" are, novel model aircraft; yes they may have cameras on board - but so what? Were you asked about geosync satellites that can zoom into a dead body on railway tracks or USGS aircraft or police helicopter cams or ATF aircraft with cams or the Bureau of Narcotics with cams that can identify illegal crops, or weather service aircraft, or that annoying aircraft photographing the neighbourhood ready for the salesman to sell you an overpriced photo of your house?

Do you plan to shoot down all of these aircraft intruding into your privacy? You would probably get away with shooting a neighbours model aircraft or quadrotor if it was over your land but otherwise and you would rightly be charged with destruction of property.

What you are displaying is either a terror of the new or paranoia and either is laughable. What do you want do do, put the genii of new technology back in the bottle? Well too late; not only are there all the cameras mentioned previously there are hundreds of others; forecourt cameras, traffic cameras, security cameras (both police and private), store cameras, cameras in your bank's ATM, dash cams in police and private cars and even helmet cams worn by cyclists, skateboarders and others.

I hope.

would send a drone to do that. Is what goes on there of interest to anyone at all?

I call the drone in from a blind in the back yard with my nifty "Drone Commander" drone call, and when it gets close enough, I flip the switch on the electro magnetic generator - zap! I trap the unsuspecting drone like a sorry ass fly on flypaper.

Then I take a sledgehammer to it, and take it down to Vern's Wrecking Yard. Vern gives me $100 apiece for them. I don't tell him what it is, and he don't wanna know.

Vern thinks we should start our own TV show, and film it about daily life down at the scrapyard, and I tend to agree, people make a fortune on that lame kind of reality shit nowadays.

We're thinking about calling the show "Drone Dynasty".

I'm laughing so hard I'm crying!
I have to get me one of them drone calls!

Just guessing here, but those two are definite options.

God bless the NSA paparazzi!

I'm having trouble focusing here.
