And follow up answer to the unavoidable counter

"But they will probably have cameras and tracking beacons"

Cops don't care. By the time someone starts reviewing your footage to help recover it. Your drone has already become four kinds of home electronics in eastern Europe/South America.

We should give the drones guns, for their own protection.

Also, there's still independent porn. Big Porn isn't gonna do a video catering to ME PERSONALLY, but there's a lot of opportunity to spend reasonable amounts of money on something custom, for example, and that's not even mentioning the indie porn in general, on various clip sites and so on.

This is actually a part of the problem with getting rid of the electoral system or something like it. These laws are going to be affecting population groups that may have enough population to sway their state but not enough to sway a national election, and as a result they would not get any representation at all effectively. That is all of course in theory. Unfortunately we only have two parties so most of those people can only voice their descent with the national direction by not voting, because the choice is between someone nominally on your side but harming you in the specifics and someone who wants to harm you in both the general and the specifics.

Which is sorta what got us here. A whole bunch of people feeling that the democrats were not properly representing their needs and thus not voting in the electorally important but popularly small states. This unfortunately means that Trump wins 2016, but hopefully from the non-voters perspective tells the Dems what they've done wrong to come around for a win in 2020.

Nah. You have a bunch of people that vote party line, and roughly 3/4 the states in the country always go red/blue, so the winning is almost entirely dependent on getting swing states, and only swing states, to vote your team. Basically the highest office in the country is decided by only about a dozen states or so.

At first I thought "Neat, scrap those things and let the creeps be out a thousand dollar toy. Turns out most people were incredulous over the idea that someone might take down their drones and the legality of that gun. As opposed to you know. The ethical question of flying around filming people without their consent.


An ex of mine forgot his high powered air rifle with copper pellet ammunition at my house. If I saw a drone passing over my house I would open a window slightly and then snipe that thing down from the middle of my living room.

You do realize what you are proposing is illegal unlike flying a drone? It would be the same exact thing as walking up to someone taking pictures of a tree in your neighborhood, grabbing the camera from their hands, and smashing it on the ground.

Another reason I don't have to worry about it is that in Sweden it's against the law to:

film/photograph in a public area without special permission to conduct surveillance.
To fly a drone where it might disturb people.
Flying a drone outside pilot visual range (500 meters maximum from the pilot and no higher than 120 meters off the ground) (special permission required, expensive and hard to get

I don't know about in Sweden but in the US you do not have a right to privacy in public, anywhere you would not expect to be private, and anywhere viable/can be heard from public property. I find most of these concerns about drones and privacy are blown way out of proportion because it's cool to hate drones. Just because you read online that someone used a camera to creepily stalk their girlfriend doesn't mean it is now ethically fine for you smash the camera of anyone you see taking a picture in public while crying "MY PRIVACY!" 99.9% of the time drones are just taking neat pictures like anyone else using a camera ever.

It's not really blown out of proportion. It's just that the drone pilots "right to be filming this person against their permission. Weights infinite less than that persons right to privacy.

If someone is taking a photo on the street and you happen to be in frame do you:
A) Not give a poo poo and be an anonymous person in their photo that they don't care about
B) Duck out of frame
C) Shoot the camera out of their hand
D) Pilot a drone to snatch their camera, fly it high up into the sky, then shoot down the drone and the camera along with it. One shot, two kills. :clint:

Certainly the hot dog and the sandwich have a common ancestor but their inability to cross breed suggests that hot dogs and sandwiches are separate species.
