    The bummer with just jamming them is that they generally have an auto-home feature, and they'll just fly back to their starting point if they lose signal. It would be cool if there was such a thing as a directional EMP...

    For magnetism I take that to mean you use steel shot rather than lead...

    I do not like these things being anywhere near my home. Thinking how to take one out without violating firearms laws.
    IIRC there is a device (transmitter) with a Yagi antenna that someone makes to essentially jam any signals from reaching it. Wonder how much those cost?

    Well... both are going to be illegal.


    You get a lot of remote controlled aerial vehicles over your property?

    Your neighborhood wet blanket here.

    Jamming or EMP- illegal too....but probably won't get the eye of local law enforcement like 3/4 oz of No. 6 from a 28 ga would (yes, 28 ga...you guys don't want to be sporting?)

    Has this sort of language passed constitutional muster in other jurisdictions, 'cause......

    I think it is probably constitutional, as it allows drone use in places that are public and/or where there is no expectation of privacy.

    The big change here is that this eases the relatively strict state statute warrant requirements implemented by HB 1009 in 2014.

    are you anywhere that you could be lawfully hunting? hunter harassment laws could apply...

    Probably so, consider that the restrictions are against the government using the drones. But I'm kind of with Hough, but I would use a 12 gauge, since that's the only shotgun I have. :):

    I get the argument, but as technology changes, we are begging for a different definition of "reasonable expectation of privacy". I get it, no different from a helicopter, except much, much lower. the price of entry is quite low and, ultimately, the use will increase exponentially.

    But this is the state where our Constitution has a "unique vitality," and it takes reasonable suspicion for LE to pull a bag of what is otherwise abandoned trash, as per Litchfield.

    But, here I have to admit that you're right with the evolving definition of what constitutes a "reasonable expectation of privacy," but I just don't like it.

    Personally, I hope the technology gets there for "pursuit drones". It'd be a much safer way to "pursue" fleeing suspects vs car chases.
