One mon explaining that they're classified as aircraft and law may need to be changed to allow them to be shot. FFS, get the police helicopter out of the way, and blam it. The runway is still closed; ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwfcfan5 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Shoot them down. If not, surely there is a way of interfering with the signal to bring them down? Madness.

One lot (NASA?) Is developing another craft that shoots a big net over unwelcome drones! It's also currently illegal to interfere with the signal apparently. A bloke who has the technology employed at a prison in Guernsey can't yet sell it here! Some emergency bills through parliament needed.

Perhaps you need a laser pen each! Edited December 20, 2018 by Tonge moor green jacket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birch-chorley Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Apparently they can’t shoot them down as it endangers life, if the police shoot up in the air it has to come down somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Winchester White Posted December 20, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted December 20, 2018 Surely they can follow the transmission of the controller? That said, some of these fancy drones can follow a pre-proggrammed path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birch-chorley Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Can’t do right for doing wrong, if one of these things caused a plane to come down and they knew about the drones then the backlash would be unbelievable Find the fuckers doing it and give them 10 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or perhaps fly another drone into the enemy ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put a shout out for expert conkerers of years past to get on the case - the drones would soon meet a 'sticky' end. We used to play a game called 'sticky' as kids, it was like 'tag' but the tagging was done by throwing sticks at each other. Well, it was actually just chucking sticks at each other, no tagging to speak of really. One lad got clunked on the head and knocked clean out, only to suddenly come to, spring upright and exclaim "I've just remembered I saw a load of toddies in some bushes yesterday" - game abandoned.

GPS blocking, blocks all GPS around. People seem to think these things are hovering at 100 feet when they go to thousands of feet high.
