Flock is selling "Drone as First Responder" tech, in the form of drones that are equipped with cameras that can read license plates.

    Can we use jammers against them perhaps?

      No. Its highly illegal to jam frequencies. If you find one legal to jam the drone can change frequency.

        At this point, does it matter if its illegal? Lets rather ask is it safe? is it easy to avoid getting caught? is it low risk for damage?

          It is likely you’ll get caught yes.

            Same with those destroying flock cameras in general. People still do it.

      Converting a little microwave oven to a homemade jammer gun never hurt anyone (it has).

      A lot of americans already have them. I’m unfamiliar with them, but they’ve all got names like dezziteegoo and smiffunwessun.

        Fun as it may be to shoot them out of the sky, that’s not super feasible in urban or suburban areas. Don’t want to risk the possibility of the bullet hitting someone on the way down and the neighbors probably wouldn’t appreciate the gunshots
