Well, it seems pretty silly to me to think they’re going to be very effective with the things if they don’t train with them. And I don’t know how you could do effective training anywhere but over the city, bein’ as it’s the police. Maybe they could mark them or something.
I considered that outcome, I live in the COuntry , out in the sticks so it will never happen around me. But if I lived in the City and this happened, I would absolutely bring it Down with a Jammer and Erase All the electronics with a mini EMP. Then I would call 911 and report that I was ATTACKED by An ILLEGAL DRONE and My Lawyer and I would be FILING Formal Criminal Charges against the Operator Immediately.
Reckless Endangerment
Criminal Stalking
Trespassing
Eavesdropping
Assault and Battery
This area, where JRandomFreeper hailed from, also thunk up a cute little ‘voluntary’ checkpoint for collecting DNA. We hammered Abbott together, who wrote us both back, and that operation was prohibited the next day.
Can’t shoot it down in the city limits, so what might be a good way to bring it down?
OK. You win. But I'd suppress it ;).
Furthermore, won't be long, police drones will be armed. First with nonlethal, then they will move to lethal forms of armament.
I believe Connecticut will be the first to arm their drones. At this point, try to bring one down and ya may get a bean bag round to the forehead. Juss sayin
Clothes not required at all in San Francisco, or at least that was the case because they had to carry towels to set on in restaurants.
The story line in that show is beginning to make sense so I guess they will have to cancel it.
There was a story on FOX this morning decrying the use of these cheap drones y terrorists. They can be brought down with electronic devices, some even let you take control of them or you can just emp them.
A small handheld Spark Gap Jammer/Transmitter powered by a 9 volt battery will NEVER be seen, about the size of a Pack of Cigarettes and is good for Line of Sight of a couple hundred Yards easily. IT WILL JUST CRASH AND BURN, Nobody will ever figure out why, it just will.!!!
They could have picked a hundred other places to conduct a training exercise.
Sling shot with ball bearings. No noise and effective.
Why not? Paint guns are legal, and probably don't fit the definition of "firearm" in most jurisdictions, except probably in places like communist Massachusetts or New Jersey
Prolly ought to not show your cards at the poker table.
We wus jes a playin’ paintball. Figgered Billy Bob done called in his air force.
If one of those comes flying around my house and gets lower than the top of the chimney +/- a safety margin, I’ll regard it as an invasion of my air space.
I knew a guy who used a suppressed shotgun in VN, said it terrified the Viet Cong.
Almost no individual in government, at any level, is to be trusted with what they say. Sorry.
OMG! That’s real purdy.
How about training on their own houses? It

Buy your own drone and indulge in some aerial jousting. Some variant of the tactics the RAF used against the V1 flying bomb should produce reasonable results. Or get one that can carry a reasonable payload and use it to dump water on the interloping drone. Usually not terribly waterproof.
