Across California, police departments are rapidly expanding “Drone as First Responder” programs, triggering intense public backlash over warrantless surveillance and corporate overreach.

Yeah, they do!
What do you think is easier to acquire and more legally protected for an average person to possess, in the US, in CA?
A shotgun?
Or a high voltage military grade active radio frequency jammer?
Or were you maybe thinking of an even higher voltage military grade microwave / laser beam emmitter?
… just please tell me you were not thinking of a net gun that can somehow reach an altitude of a hundreds to thousands of feet.
But hang the fuck on for a second…what if the net also spits out jammers at 400 feet… See that could work…
Can’t tell if this is a joke or not. You’re not hitting a drone with a shotgun at 400 feet, much less thousands of feet.
Slug maybe?
They make shells for longer birding ranges that are like hybrids between birdshot and buckshot, but at that range you’d need a pretty skilled shooter with a good gun, and then you still have the problems that come with firing a gun. Unfortunately nobody has found a compact, easy-to-replicate mid-range solution. Buuuut if you’re an electronics person with a little knowledge, I’ve seen both internet hobbyists and Ansarallah soldiers with DIY directed jammers the size of a large rifle.
This is the 21st century…
Yes, those are illegal to possess, much less use, and they are fairly easily triangulated.
Due to the wifi/5g black hole they will indiscriminately create within their effective radius.
Build and turn on one of those and you’ll be geolocated nearly instantly, and then go to jail for quite a long time.
You would also be arrested for skeet shooting a police drone… given that my argument was about the safety of that not the legality I’m not sure what you are on about.
Ah, no, not if you know how to shoot something while also being not easily identifiable on camera, from a location you are not associated with.
Did you think about how creating an 1/8 to 1/4 mile telecomm blackhole might cause some injuries or perhaps deaths?
Maybe one of your neighbors was having a medical emergency, might have been useful for them or someone nearby to be able to use their phone, have EMS dial in to their location, get there real fast?
No, you didn’t, otherwise you’d not be unsure of what I’m on about.
Anyway best of luck with your purchase history.
You are making a lot of assumptions about your ability to kill all the electronics onboard in one shot and assuming that one drone will be the only one in the air…
Best of luck with your “good ‘ol boy” solutions.
You don’t know anything about guns or electronics, or the relevant laws, or level of police attention they garner, so yeah, sure, just keep imagining you have any idea what you are talking about, that’ll work.
