You may be powerless to stop a drone from hovering over your own yard

I was thinking more like fly my drone around the other drone. Have you seen me drive? Then you can imagine how I can fly a drone.

I see a market for drone killer drone killers.

Arms races can be very profitable, especially if you sell to both sides.

Use your fighter drone to take out a recon drone.

Wanna bet on that? Bring one and we’ll test the theory.

If the drone owner wants to hover all day that is fine with me. He will soon be bored to death. ;-)

There are quite a few drone hobbyists in my area.

They can legally go to 400 ft. altitude, but must stay a distance from airports.

One guy is making a name for himself, flying his drone from the end of a pier, out over the ocean and filming sunrises, sunsets, the coastline and offshore islands etc.

Impressive photography so far. I believe the drone and camera together can easily exceed $1,000—I do not know.

I do not think this guy is looking to get somebody angry and damage his belonging. I see him operating fairly high up.

The drone photography is being used for high end real estate marketing.

A directional high gain antenna and a noise generator tuned to their radio control frequency and that thing is coming down. Then it is “No you do not have permission to enter my property. If you do I will consider you a trespasser with hostile intent and respond with deadly force.”

This is one case where firearms really are the “power”.
