The method demonstrated in the video is problematic for a commoner like me to apply, since it not only comes with serious electrical hazards when handling the high voltage capacitor in the microwave, but it also comes with the risk of endangering other peoples electronics, causing fire hazards or affecting radiological infrastructure that is protected by law.
Our entire house, containing eight households, are furious at our neighbors living across the street, because they are flying their drone up to our windows and hover. It is equipped with something that resembles a lens.
I’d shoot it down, but that leaves a trail and is not subtle. I really don’t want to risk my gun “career”, since I want to get licensed for heavier caliber sometime next year.
The police don’t do nothing about it, since it’s not illegal to maneuver in populated areas. It’s neither directly illegal to film people, even though they indirectly could be charged with harassment. I don’t have or want to spend the funds for a civil lawsuit.
What are my offensive and defensive options?
Many cheaper drones can’t even fly over water because the ultrasonic distance sensor freaks out. First attempt, I would put a kiddie pool under the window. If that doesn’t work I would try buying ultrasonic distance sensors, like replacement ones for drones, and spamming the drone with it using an arduino or raspberry pi. The drone may think it’s crashing and make erratic adjustments, causing it to crash for real. If that fails I’d go archaic and throw bolas at it.
