The method demonstrated in the video is problematic for a commoner like me to apply, since it not only comes with serious electrical hazards when handling the high voltage capacitor in the microwave, but it also comes with the risk of endangering other peoples electronics, causing fire hazards or affecting radiological infrastructure that is protected by law.
Our entire house, containing eight households, are furious at our neighbors living across the street, because they are flying their drone up to our windows and hover. It is equipped with something that resembles a lens.
I’d shoot it down, but that leaves a trail and is not subtle. I really don’t want to risk my gun “career”, since I want to get licensed for heavier caliber sometime next year.
The police don’t do nothing about it, since it’s not illegal to maneuver in populated areas. It’s neither directly illegal to film people, even though they indirectly could be charged with harassment. I don’t have or want to spend the funds for a civil lawsuit.
What are my offensive and defensive options?
Yeah it depends on the region. Here you can legally fly small drones more or less anywhere as long as you’re not harassing people (recording or taking pictures through the windows would count as that though) and the operator is bound by gdpr for anything they share on the internet. Interfering with the drone is legally interfering with an aircraft though so if you start trying to shoot one down then it’s legally similar to causing a full sized aircraft to crash. It depends on where you are but I’d try to contact whatever air administration you have and inform them.
