Will do and unless you can prove i've done something illegal you can pay for the damages.

You don't have the right to privacy on a public street or sidewalk. Why is that lost on so many people?

Why is it lost on so many people that drones should not be flown where there is a danger to the public? I have a right to walk down a public street without having to duck for cover. I have the right to prevent drones from invading the airspace above my property for privacy and safety concerns. Sure, FAA regulations rule. I get it. Jammers vs. Droners.... Guess who wins that battle?

I'm referring to the 'drone' people in this thread that feel it's their right to fly over my property.

I'm not going to swat a drone in public unless it gets in my face.

I have no problem with courteous drone users.

It's not about feelings, yours or anyone else's. If the airspace above your house, or above your head, is designated as "publicly navagable", you have to live with it.

Actually we don't. Prove that I took it down. If these things start getting destroyed, maybe the owners would start being more courteous. Lets face it, some of the drone owners on this thread have had a hateful attitude. They might lose a few teeth recovering the remains of their drone. You know if it goes down on private property, they don't have the right to enter and recover it. In Missouri, If I consider them a threat, I can shoot them. (the drone owners)

It may be illegal to shoot a gun in city limits but I still have my sons Red Ryder BB gun that will take out a drone to about 60 feet.

That would be fun.

I lost my Red Ryder when my tongue got stuck on the darned light post. Would you agree that using a frequency jammer positioned on one's own property, would be not only legal but not liable for unintended damage to a drone that was not invited to fly over my property?

Another Internet tough guy claiming readiness to do violent acts because his sense of propriety is offended. Un-wad those girly panties and relax, dude.

It would probably fall into the same category as cell phone jamming. Do you invite airliners, police helicopters and other regular visitors to "your" airspace to overfly?

Considering that the FCC regulates communications and the FAA regulates aviation, using a frequency jammer to stop a drone isn't the same as cell phone jamming. If there is an airliner or police helicopter within 200-300 ft. of my house, I would be surprised.

I'm going to go back to my original thought. Would it be illegal to jam the frequencies of theprivacy invading drones? There is no intent to harm a particular drone. My onlyintent would be to protect my property from privacy invaders using the airwavesto control vehicles to invade my privacy. The very inexpensive equipment (lessthan $100.00) can be set up on your private property and sweep through thefrequencies most often used by the manufacturers, 24x7. The equipment isvariable and adjustable and has ranges reaching out only 200-300 ft. in a 360degree pattern. It is not aimed at a particular drone. How could that beillegal and the drone owner's actions using those same frequencies be legal?I'm not going to shoot it, through rocks or baseballs, or swing a shirt at it.I'm going to prevent it from flying over my property with no particular harmintended.

Just keep your toys with cameras out of my business and I will respect your right to fly drones in a safe, considerate manner.
