For weeks we have heard this thing flying over our homes and over our pools last weekend. Noisy bloody thing it is.
Our Neighbour reported it to the police, telling them it has a camera and can take photo's of his kids in the pool.
When we arrived home tonight, he came over and told us his 2 bird mist nets he had set, had downed the thing.
He called the police and they arrived in minutes. Its now awaiting for its owner at the station with some explaining to do. We hope they charge him/her.
If they lost control of it, It could hurt or kill.
The best thing for any "captured" drones.
Is to pass them round on the ends of your baseball bats for a while.
Then bag up the bits and drop in nearest bin.
Those thing. ALL privacy is gone. everywhere.
The only time one would be acceptable at any sports game.
would be a coach watching play and manoeuvres of players.
and he'd need permission from other coach first.
With MicroSD etc in there. would be really good for that.
