Yes more laws will stop it like drug and gun laws did and yeah shoot bullets into the air.
A friend recently received a ticket for not wearing orange shortly after seeing a drone in the field he was hunting. Warden claimed he observed him remove his hat when he sat down in tree by glassing from a substation on adjacent property. Didn't matter how because he confessed to removing hat when questioned.I guarantee game wardens are using them, it would be perfect to observe.
Any idea how common is it for operators to be penalized for flying out of line of sight or unregistered? I’d imagine almost non existent, especially in rural areas, without additional crimes or incidents.You are going to jail for a long time if you shoot one down and get caught. My drone can go about 2.5 miles.
That’s fine. If you don’t like more laws, then just remove the ones penalizing those shooting the peepers’ drones. We don’t need LE wasting their time enforcing it. Just take the restrictions off of private landowners protecting their right to privacy.Yes more laws will stop it like drug and gun laws did and yeah shoot bullets into the air.
I understand and agree with your statements, just have to point this one thing out:
"as with other aircraft. If it’s close enough for me to shoot and hit it,"
I may have to lead the a lot, but I regularly get fighter jets over my house and yard just above treetop level. I'm gonna give them a pass. Back where I am, the same won't happen with a drone.
That sounds like a total bunch of whiny arse holes worried someone is hunting public land.How about "inadvertently" spraying them with a water hose?
Here is my "beef" with drones and air space rights. On the Meateater podcast, they were talking about "corner hopping" on BLM land out west. Much of the BLM land out west is set up like a checker board. Red squares are private land, black squares are public land. Some hunters, in order to not trespass, but move from one block of public land to another block, navigate to the "corner" of a black square and hop to the opposing corner of another black square. Many of those states are saying that's illegal, because your shoulders invade some of the private lands air space, which constitutes trespassing.
Well, if it's "trespassing" for my shoulders to pass through private land air space, then it's trespassing for someone to operate a drone in the air space of my property!
No, you should, but can't.Yep. Been here 13 years, and I just now got caught. Been a troll all along.
Yes they are very different things. And this isn’t directed towards you or RB or anyone specific. But you can’t just shoot stuff that’s not yours and you don’t like it. There has to be more than “like” at stake.
I agree, if someone was hovering a drone over me at my house, it would be weird AF and make me wonder who’s watching. Not saying the thought to knock it out of the air wouldn’t cross my mind, but….you can’t, or shouldn’t.
not for thatNo but you can be charged as a peeping tom which this is no different imo.
I don’t live in the country at the moment…..but if I did and was being observed closely by a drone I wouldn’t think twice about blowing it out of the sky. I saw a guy shoot at one with a handgun on randleman lake one time that kept circling his boat lol
See, I was just thinking that upon seeing the drone it would be a good time for me to work on my suntan, get rid of those pesky tanlines.Let one show up over the wife and granddaughter laying out ,see how long it last.
I told the fellow that bought the land in front of me that I walked around the yard every day naked. He built on the other end of it and left the trees between us. Then he sold it to me. See it works.See, I was just thinking that upon seeing the drone it would be a good time for me to work on my suntan, get rid of those pesky tanlines.
It's an interesting question, for sure. The laws as they currently are seem fine for (and aimed towards) model airplanes or helicopters, the quadricopters are a different beast.
A friend of mine operates drones for work and knows the laws pretty well for the states he operates in. He was saying that for a boat or any other vehicle in motion, if a drone is following or circling, they can be charged federally for distracting or attempting to disrupt a vehicle in motion and can be charged with jail time. The rules change so fast, who really knows.
Drone hunter . All it needs is a couple full auto 22’s mounted on it .
If you read the article, the law might not be on your side near a federal building. There were a handful of carve outs to it.You that have drones and can fly anywhere you want, go ahead and fly around a Federal building and if they say anything tell them the law on your side,
and if they don't like it that's just to bad.
