Bum Camps are expanding and some people don't like it.
Some of those DontLikers own personal drones and are using their piloting skills to document the worsening situation. It seems that the laissez-faire approach by the authorities has put some of the locals in a mood for a little pay-back.
Funny twitter vid clip series at link shows what unfolds when annoyed tweakers channel their special "Meth Magic" to locate and then chase the drone controllers..!
How strange that the most civilized culture now has a subfaction much like the least-civilized culture (pic below related)
Is there Youtube?
Twitter vid tends to freeze things.
Nope.
Somehow the tweakers lucked out and went straight to the guy’s car —he was pretty far away, too.
Then the droners couldn’t recover their drone:
One of the tweakers was on a bicycle, which goes as fast as a drone. So droners couldn’t get enough tweaker lead time to recover their drone into their van w/o getting attacked.
I guess they had to use pepper-spray on the tweakers.
That’s funny as hell!
That’s funny! But I wouldn’t hesitate to put bird shot into a drone flying over my property. Too many freaks and pervs playing with those things now.
No, when the droners decided to leave the area, they set the drone on "auto follow" at a specific altitude. No controlling is needed.
Then the tweeker decided to follow and the droners drove slow enough to let the tweeker follow them into and out of the subdivision until he ran out of gas. In the last video you see the droners parked and waiting for the drone to land by their car.
That's probably a $2,000 + drone which are really cool.......
Well, that’s methed up.
OK, no argument here..that's good to know.
LMAO! I guess even bums don’t like being spied on by drones...
There has already been a drone versus shotgun incident out here yesterday-when a townie with a vaca cabin on the next road came to spend the week. He had bought a $400.00 drone for his 14 year old son (yep-more money than brains)-and the kid promptly launched it over the next door neighbor’s place, harassing his goats and chickens with it-after several flights, the property owner had enough-came out and shot the drone-which promptly crashed into the woods.
The guy came marching up to the gate, shouting, demanding to be able to come onto the property to retrieve the kid’s drone or he would call the sheriff. The property owner told him to he had already reported the incident, and told the townie to GTF off his property or he’d get fined for trespassing as well as letting his kid harass livestock. Rednecks don’t like drones, I guess-I’ll have to ask the neighbor if he put the dead drone on the wall as a trophy-like one of those Farmers Insurance commercials...
Thanks.
It did turn out this video did not freeze my iPad.
Drones are awesomely fun.
Started with a $100 one from Walmart and worked my way up.
It still flies but it’s had a bit of surgery and the taped up sections cause it to limp a bit. ;-)
do all drones come with a little camera?
I think there some little toy-type ones without cameras.
They’re good for indoors and around the yard, flying by
sight only.. no instrumentation or GPS.
They’re good to learn on.
Walmart has non-GPS drones from $20.00.
People who have degraded themselves are, at some level, very aware of it. They are ashamed of it.
Shame is no longer PC in America, so its easy to justify, rationalize and hide one’s shame.
Reminding someone of it can cause extreme anger.
I wouldn’t appreciate a drone invading my property either. The big difference here is - these people were not filmed by drone on their own property. They may have been trespassing on other people’s property
Out with the dogs, the other night saw something odd, aliens?
An aircraft rolled over and was flying inverted!
Not too far from us is a small airport, anybody can go there.
After a bit, he rolled back over! For sure I saw it.
This guy is nuts but smooth? And did not appear in the darkness to have sufficient elevation? Difficult to determine.
So I watched for a while after a few more stunts and it came my way, clearly a drone.
Cool stuff in the black night sky.
This was some great exercise for that meth head.
Very kind of the drone operators to help out with his health and fitness.
