This is fascist bullshit. We should have something to knock every one of them out of the sky and smash them to a billion pieces.

The cops were foiled by patio coverings. Drats. All that money spent and simply putting up sheets over your backyard would keep your privacy. Make sure your music is loud too in case they’re capturing sound.

Or let them capture stuff like “the fitness requirements of our police force are a national shame.”

It’s not illegal to laser pointer drones. Have everyone armed with laser pointers to light that fucker up.

Actually it is, it’s treated the same as laser pointing an airliner.

That doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t risk harming a pilots eyes. I’m not sure I believe this would be illegal.

What about a water hose?

A good cell phone jammer, I would think, would stop them being able to control it. Doubt it would crash, though, it’d probably hover till either the battery died or they show up to investigate.

Unfortunately you can’t shoot it. If it’s low enough, you might be able to use another drone to snag it with a net or hit it with a strong water gun, then leave it out on the sidewalk, wet and broken, for them to come get.
