The fat drunk was the only person harassing anyone --- he walked up and interrupted a legal photo shoot to swat a legal drone out of the air and therefore commit an act of felony vandalism.

People don't need to be "advised" there is a drone in the area --- a drone is a 100% legal machine allowed to operate on any street in all 50 states.

Please learn about the law.

I meant it in the sense people don't freak out and do something like this. There are a lot of misconceptions about drones.

And not an uncommon type person in down town HB. A lot of drunk people behaving badly. I lived there, I'd know.

quote from the article:
'We were just showing off the (drone's) sensitivity control.'

Apparently, the drone lacks sensitivity to people.

Also, this is excellent footage for their training video showing how not to operate a drone.

Drones are legal to operate on any street in all 50 states? That sound dangerous. I do not think they would be allowed on major highways for safety at all. They should not be on streets without proper lighting. What if a cyclist did not see it and hit it?

All of this is besides the point anyway, the operators (be they a-holes or not) were within the law to operate where they were operating, the irate guy with the T-shirt is in the wrong. I don't care about shooting off AR's in the nude or shotguns or this or that bluster, as far as the OP is concerned, the t-shirt guy screwed up.

What happens if a car comes down that street? That drone was at windshield level.

I hate these drones; they are annoying, and frankly if this was a residential street, there should have been some kind of noise ordinance in place! If they want to shoot instructional videos they can go where they won't be disturbing anyone else.
