I can't believe someone threw a $100 roll of toilet paper at a drone!!

A training I went to a few months back had this as a topic, drones flying illegally over special events. Under Indiana law, a drone is considered and aircraft per IC 8-21-1-1 "Aircraft" means any contrivance now known, or hereafter invented, used or designed for navigation of or flight in the air. Interfering with the pilot or the aircraft is a crime. We are not allowed to do so. We are required to let it fly for the 15 min it takes to run the batteries down and seize it once it lands.

You better find and ask the pilot if they are an FAA part 107 certified pilot with permission to fly at that special event before you seize private property. You will get sued.

I'm more intrigued in finding out that the batteries only last 15 minutes. Seriously? I thought it would be kind of cool to get one, but not if the batteries only last 15 minutes. Seems like a waste of money.

We were talking about the Indy 500 and parade. Good luck getting permission from them. Most other events don't concern us that much.

I have a older dji phantom 3 that the batteries last longer than 15 minutes. But if you were closer we could find out and have some fun with it. They make drones that actually capture other drones. A whole market out there for what issue your having

I assume a 1,000 lumen strobe would just temporarily blind the camera.
Amy chance a laser would burn the image receptor?

Denny, you are probably right but there have been some 107 pilots filming at the track. It might be possible for one to get clearance for a race. I'll link the video if you guys want to see it. The pilot's skills were amazing. And I'm not a 107 but I'll pretend to be if you try to take my drone. I'm not stupid enough to fly at those type of events.

I get 23-26 minutes of flight time from my DJi Mavic Pro when it's using the upgraded props. The Older Phantom II Vision+ I have is ~18-22 minutes.

Neither a flashlight nor a laser will do anything to these drones when more than 75 feet away unless you have some seriously powerful illegal high wattage CW lasers. The beam divergence is too great to concentrate much power onto the camera + it's constantly moving.

Well, if you're going to be breaking the law anyway...

What's the daily bag limit on pesky intrusive drones?

Depends on if the video link gets jammed before the unfortunate accident

"I thought I heard an intruder so I followed Joe Biden's advice and fired my 12 gauge into the air. Sorry if your drone was in the area."

I have an Acebeam W30 that fries sh!7 at 1.6 miles. It uses LEP technology. Laser Excited Phosphor. Look it up on youtube. They are big bucks now...

You guys and your cute little flashlights can try to blind a drone camera all you want. It's not going to hurt it.

If you want to see what a high end hobbyist laser can do, watch this video. He's fabbing some impressive home projects yet still not powerful enough to damage a camera element >75 yards away. His stuff is way higher power than anything you can buy as a consumer.

I'm surprised that the cameras are so rugged! Mega watt blue laser it is!!

I could have gotten into so much trouble with something like that as a kid. I was a little pyromaniac back then!

I liked the system I saw at the last Directed Energy Weapons Conference I was at. You use a high powered laser for a microsecond to ionize a line of air to the target then release what is basically a giant Van De Graaff generator to unleash a bolt of lightning down the trail. Zot! (may not be commercially available or legal in your (or any) state).

Oh yeah, I definitely would have gotten into trouble with that as a kid. I was a latch-key kid, if you couldn't tell.
