Idk if anyone had a similar problem before, but I live in EU by the countryside, at first there were only a few but now it happens more and more often to see drones passing over my house, I am sure they are civilian drones because law enforcement has no reason to use them since the area is quiet (and honestly I doubt they would be able to do so), however it bothers me enough to know that there are people who get over the fence and enter my property going to look at what they want, does anyone have any advice on what to do?

Get yourself a little beehive OP.

Every time you see a drone, report it for killing your bees, sit back and watch the EU busybodies go fuckin mental about it

The cunt who's doing it will be in The Hague within a week 😂

This works if they fly low enough

You can also use an anti-drone gun

Police drones. Surveillance "for your protection"

Fuck them!

That some dystopian shit!

Portsmouth Ohio, fat redneck throwing a bottle of shit Australian beer and the police not executing a no knock warrant and murdering him for his crimes?

I call bullshit.

That photo is real but that caption isn't.

That was taken in Australia with one of our better beers front and centre

That guy deserves an award

I never understood anti drug drones. You'd think criminals would just go inside or get a pavilion

Didn't know they drank great northern piss in Ohio.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

They don't. They're a QLD couple that got in trouble for being absolute legends and knocking down their neighbour's drone.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 5 days ago

there's a software package floating around to hijack drones and remote control them yourself. it might be time to test the drone's security capabilities

[-] [email protected] 23 points 6 days ago

Apparently, old-fashioned spark radios can disrupt comms for consumer drones. There are kits for people who are interested in learning about early radio tech.

I've not verified this myself.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 6 days ago

causing RF interference on purpose is definitely illegal wherever this person lives

[-] [email protected] 15 points 6 days ago

Which means finding a personal purpose for using the spark radio, that way it remains a side-effect.

Might me time for some electrical experiments.

That only works so many times before the authorities can see through the ruse unfortunately.

commercial drones must have by law a remote ID, think of it like a unique number for each drone, so you might want to try using some phone apps like DroneTag to get that ID and then report it to the authorities. They will have a record of who that drone belongs to.

Just looked it up for Germany: over residential areas you need either "an explicit permission of the owner", or "it is very light (<250g) and has no ability to record video, audio or radio" or "it is more then 100m above ground, not in the night and some other fingerprint" [1].

In all EU you actually need a registration on your some clearly visible [2].

So, of they are below 100m or in the night, just call the authorities. If you live a bit outside it might just not clear from above that it's private property.

Are you legally allowed to own a shotgun?

[-] [email protected] 12 points 5 days ago

Don't shoot down drones. In the US it counts as shooting down an aircraft and you'll have the FAA knocking at your door

[-] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

OP stated this was in europe. Out of the FAA's jurisdiction. The EASA may have similar rules though

How is it trespassing? How far up do you "own" ? 5m , 200m, 1000km?

On the other hand, get a another drone and play chasey wott theirs, maybe and some talons to yours and swoop, eagle style ?

[-] [email protected] 11 points 6 days ago

E.g. in germany it is not allowed to fly over private property with a drone (equipped with a camera), no matter the height. You have to stay above offical streets. And maximum flight hight is 120 m, if I remember correctly.

I guess it's EU law, so it should be simmilar in other EU countries.

Do you own a shotgun? Just shoot it out of the sky.

Just kiding that's a terrible idea

[-] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

Clearly. Use a boomerang instead.
