Got a theory...More like an observation...
You get these “mini” drones,hovering all about looking, peeking about, and you’d think that some people like us who value their privacy could just git yer shotgun or riffle and take these particular intruders out and the problem would be gone...
Well, I got to thinkun’...If they have these flitting about, they are closer to you than you’d think...A shopping mall parking lot, or other open area secured for this purpose to launch and recover these devices...
So, if you manage to take one out (which seems to be an underlying thought for some people) who’s to say they are even watching “you”, and you just shot one down...Oops...Now the heat is on you if they manage to ID you as the shooter...
Not that I am trying to throw a bucket of ice water on any of this...But it seems it is too late if you are even minding your own business, that you happen to notice one of these things, that it might not be you they are surveiling, or maybe it is...At this point they are close and probably ready to bounce on you in a moments notice or excuse...
Which brings me to another subject...
How do you spoof these things???
- overpasses
- covered parking garages
- tunnels
- carry a pre-paid cell phone, and call only a number no one else would know about for just such an occasion...
Some people would say that is illegal or somewhat dubious, and IF you have nothing to hide, no one should mind being under such surveillance...
Well, my response is this...
You certainly may or should not be doing anything illegal, and you certainly may or should not have anything to hide...
But you damn sure have everything to protect, and that IS your right to protect your privacy (with any means at your disposal, and personal comfort level), even though you may be in a public place or forum...Where this may, or may not be deployed for their use...
Just putting a twist in the discussion...
“Some people would say that is illegal or somewhat dubious, and IF you have nothing to hide, no one should mind being under such surveillance...”
Problem is, everyone is doing something illegal. There are so many laws on the books, the average person commits 3 felonies a day. So that argument is out the window; we already ARE enemies of the state, not by our choice, but by the choice of the legislators.
“How do you spoof these things???”
If we get everyone in America to carry the same make, size, and color umbrella every time they leave the house, it’s sure to screw around with them royally.
