Peeping Drones

[Common]

Now women have to worry about peeping drones invading their privacy as if your neighbor wasnt bad enough. When I was a young guy single women were told never to live on the first floor if possible. Being higher thwarted peeping toms and break ins. Well that saftey net is gone.

Creeps Embrace a New Tool: Peeping Drones:

State laws start taking aim at drone users who snoop on their neighbors


It was the blinking lights outside the 10th-story window of her San Jose, California, condo that startled Elsvette Buenaventura from her bed last year. When she drew back the curtain, a small drone hovered a few feet away. In the days that followed, it returned at least three more times.
Such stories have prompted lawmakers in a half-dozen U.S. states to outlaw the use of drones to snoop on people’s homes. More states are set to follow.
“We don’t know what he was looking for with his camera-drone,” said Buenaventura, 32. “All we felt was a violation of our privacy.”
For less than $1,000, small, remotely operated aircraft are increasingly available on the Internet and at hobby stores, and some can be equipped with equally affordable high-definition cameras. At the same time, some of America's biggest companies — names like Chevron Corp. and BNSF Railway Co. — are pushing to use drones for everything from pipeline inspection to land surveys. Their use has pushed lawmakers to weigh the rights of drone pilots against the potential for nefarious intrusions.

As a gun crazed Bible toting Midwestern supporter of the second amendment I would like to elaborate a little on this scenario.

Whether you miss or not - discharging a firearm in a reckless fashion is not protected under the 2nd amendment. Even if you fire a weapon for the sole purpose of self defense and an innocent bystander gets hit you are not protected by the 2nd amendment. There are no protections in the 2nd amendment pertaining to any possible use of a firearm. None. The only thing the 2nd amendment protects is our right to keep and bare arms.

[southwest88]

A shotgun blast would fix the peeping drone.

Almost anything would do - the consumer drones I've seen are engineered to maximize lift, which means that the body & propeller shrouds are lightweight & flimsy. A rock, a stick, a water balloon - almost anything will knock them down &/or destabilize the lift. Either way, they'll go down or crash into a building or tree.

Then you can try to track the device back to whoever sold it, & track the owner. Or you can let the police or whoever local law enforcement is try to run down the owner. If the police impound the critter as evidence, the owner will likely never get it back. Or @ least will have to explain what the drone was doing in your vicinity.

[PattyHill]

Nothing is that simple.

If a hiker is missing, a drone could be useful for finding them.

Farmers use them to target crop dusting.

They can be used to spot fires in areas with tight constraints on workers.

But they can also be abused. I always imagine that one of these days they'll be broadcasting advertisements out in public areas, and we won't be able to get away from them. And I'm sure papparazzis (sp?) would love to have them to spy on people in secluded locations.

It's not as easy as "ban them all".

And in a city, attempting to shoot them down would be pretty dangerous to all around you.

I don't like them. But I can see there are times they come in handy.

And besides -doesn't matter what I like. They are here, and there will be more of them. Sigh

Well, yah, just the licensing for a ZSU would be killer. We're just talking about a civilian drone here, right? Shoot, a pump-action shotgun loaded with birdshot should be more than adequate. Now if you're talking about a military-grade drone - like a Predator - you're in serious trouble.

Between the range of the optics/sensors & quietness of the engine, you're not likely to ever even know that the thing is up there. & slant range is pretty bad - you'd need military-grade AAA or maybe a Stinger @ extreme range (3 mi., altitude 9,840 ft.) to take it down.

Nah, don't bother. The specs @ Wiki say that there never was a radar, fire control, nor gun-laying CPU. The critter has an optical sight & the guns are laid by hand. There are power-assisted controls to point the guns, with manual controls in case of power failure. The slew rate & elevation rate under power assist are marginally acceptable (the gun-pointing tech was 10 years out of date when the thing was new), under manual control - well; unless you're built like Schwarzenegger in his prime, it's a pretty hopeless task.

The pump shotgun with birdshot - hell, possibly loaded with salt crystals - would be a better alternative - handier, & if you have to aim by hand anyway, you might as well have something you can actually practice with & keep handy. The ZSU takes up a lot - a lot! - of space, time, maintenance. I'm sure it would wow the folks @ the 4th of July parade, but really ...

Just for clarification: Shotguns typically fire shot. This is not a bullet but a measure of choice sized spherical (usually lead) balls. Yes, you can get a deer slug which is a single solid projectile that has significant range. But on the other end of that spectrum is bird shot which is about like large grains of sand. A cloud of bird shot is harmless @ 100yds. It has lost all of its energy by the time it gets this far. If can even make it that far to begin with.

I can't lie ... I was trying to get some of the winggunnuts to foam at the mouth simply by suggesting that the *Liberty & Freedom* of the 2nd Amendment guarantees them the right open fire on everything they don't like ... especially on drones peeping into showers ... and simply can't be denied ... LOL

You shake the tree and nuts may fall out. No guarantee they'll be pecans. My reaction to a drone hovering out side my window peeking in at me would be way more hostile then merely opening up on it with a gun. No sir. I would instead get full naked and do my Peter Griffin Shipoopie dance.

That's why I said my reaction would be to flash 'em....not only would the drone drop but anyone watching remotely would have the retinas in their eyes burned! :grin:

Patty anyone that would fire on a drone has hopefully been trained in gun saftey. Again you don't use slugs to use flying objects so thr sheel shot disipates much more quickly than a slug or bullet would
