Drones in Suburbia
« on: October 06, 2015, 06:29:36 PM »
Hey all. Just had a drone in our front yard at about roof height. How do I take one down to protect our privacy and ensure they aren't casing the joint. Shotgun is out of the question...

Thanks, Robbo...

Drones in Suburbia

I just received a email today regarding protection of property from drones
I would imagine quite expensive as aimed at corporations business etc
Could log the gps  on the drone and also trace the location of the controller

Or there is also available special ammo (shotgun pellets) designed to take out a drone and its electrics

I reckon a decent squirt from a hose with resonable pressure wouldnt help them?

I'd go for a nice carbon fibre spinning rod, loaded with 20lb braid, a wire trace and a 6/0 treble hook with the points clipped off just behind the barb.

On second thoughts, bugger that, get a paint ball gun.  ;D

Good question. We have not had them yet....that I know of. When it does happen it will be bye bye drone. I do not own any firearms however the idea of the slingshot/catapult had crossed my mind. If low, a hose/Karcher could be the go. Could be good fun I think. ;D

If people are going to invade your privacy, cost them some money while at it.

I'm more concerned with the vigilante mentality going on here more than someone flying a 'drone'. Here are some questions for you.

1. Have you any evidence that the 'drone' was being used to invade someones privacy.
2. Unless the OP can provide evidence to the contrary there is nothing in this thread to suggest illegal use of a 'drone' other than his opinion.

My opinion is tainted somewhat, owning 5 of these aircraft in different guises. But the upshot is this, if someone wants to invade your privacy they are going to do it whether they own a 'drone' or not. It would be a damn sight less expensive for one, and for a more important reason, who the hell would want to take snapshots of any of you ugly bastards anyway.

Wouldn't it be easier to simply walk past the house and check what camera's or security it has? My vision is pretty shoddy, but it works at lot better than a board camera, the likes of which gives video quality equal to what you see on those crime shows of footage from petrol station video cameras. i.e crap.

The thing that is pissing me off here, is the implication for all who read this BS thread is that people who own 'drones' are perverts and peeping toms and thieves. Personally that is not why I got into the hobby, but perhaps if these thoughts spring to your minds so easily, it may be best if you leave flying quadcopters and the like to people who are putting them to better use.

Firstly, it is illegal to fly within 30m of a building, vehicles, boats or people - https://www.casa.gov.au/sites/g/files/net351/f/_assets/main/lib100071/flying_with_control_model.pdf.

If one is flying around, a hose, net, string, fishing line, etc... can be used to knock it down. Basically anything that will get tangled in the props will bring it down. I've seen one taken down by someone throwing a t-shirt at it which caught a prop. Once you have it in your possession, secure it and call the  :police:. When the person comes looking for it, send them to the  :police: station.

Having said that, it should be flown within line of sight, so the operator would need to be around. They could be flying it by FPV, so hiding around the corner somewhere.

Generally, if they see you getting close to knocking it down, chances are they will move on and leave you alone. They won't want to risk losing their drone to you.

I have a couple of drones/tri-copter and I make sure to never let it out of my yard. It's always more fun and safer to fly it in a registered model aircraft flying area anyway.

Cheers

Good way for scrotes to see if people are home or not, and how their home security is setup, what expensive goodies are in their back yard without being locked up etc without said scrote even leaving their front porch...
