FAA Confirms It’s a Federal Crime to Shoot Down a Drone
The Federal Aviation Administration is a busy organization, one that oversees everything from air traffic control systems to pilot certifications. You’d think that would leave it with enough on its hands, but the current vogue for civilian drones keeps piling new new responsibilities onto the beleaguered administration. Last year, the FAA established a drone registry for pilots of unmanned aircraft. Now it’s unequivocally confirming that it’s a federal crime to shoot down a drone, as John Goglia… (www.slate.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
" Over in the Netherlands, the police are training eagles to attack drones. If you’re really committed to policing the skies, that’s how you do it."
DroneDefender... ridiculous. Forget about the FAA, I'm sure the FCC would have something to say about a device that interferes with radio communications.
What about layering the cockpit? Oh, wait...
Sorry...meant "lasering!" Dang you, Otto Korect!
I thought I heard somewhere that up to a certain distance above your house you own. Does this still apply here within that distance?
Nope. You only own what is attached to the ground on your property. As soon as something has as much as an inch of space between it and the ground - it is no longer on private property.
i don't care when i see it is going on the GROUND FASTER THAN YOU CAN SAY "i"
d = 0.5 * g * t**2
where d is distance, g=9.8m/s/s, t is time in seconds.
solving for t=1 second, d=.5*9.8*1 or about 4.8 meters.
The phoneme for 'i' (uppcase) is expressed in about .25 seconds, lowercase somewhat shorter. That makes the value of d approximately 3 meters or 10 ft. For your premise to be going to ground it would be under 10 ft - use a bat.
