Fucking drones

[hedgehogger1]

One keeps hovering over my garden. It's like there's a massive angry bee. No idea if it had a camera on it or not. Wish it would get lost

Get an airgun and take pot shots.

Yanbu - how intrusive!! Do you have a catapult?

Can you hose it down, thats a real invasion of your privacy, is it a kids one. Do you have any idea where its come from. I would go upstairs, film it and see where it goes.

Hate them.

Do you have a jar of pickled tomatoes?

I hate them with a passion. Everyone else’s enjoyment of places ruined by twats selfishly getting lovely footage at the expense of everyone else’s peace.

It’s actually illegal to fly them over people without permission. My husband has one, and had to take a course in the legalities of flying it.

An you plants some bedding in the shape of a giant finger …..

Hose pipe it down. As someone upthread said, it's illegal to fly a drone and invade privacy like that. And there's a very low likelihood that it doesn't have a camera on it these days.

"Hose pipe it down"

What an excellent idea I will be doing this next time one hovers over my garden

All you need is a jar of gherkins.

Why Gerkins @Squiff70 ?

Cucumbers actually 🤣

@Aphantasia

Why Gerkins *@Squiff70* ?

Nearer the start of the war in Ukraine, a lady was reported to have taken down a Russian drone by launching a jar of gherkins/cucumbers at it.

That very much depends on the weight of the drone.

Only crowds and not if the drone is under 259g

A PP is correct, it is illegal to fly a drone over property without permission. We had a drone hovering over our garden about 4 years ago. I contacted the police who to my pleasure and surprise took it very seriously and actually came round.

Give the local kids some Sling shots and some chuckies. You'll never have an issue with them again

I'd need better aim than I've got for the gherkins to succeed

Why do people comment on things they clearly know nothing about.

Oh do sod off. I gave the OP my opinion and experience and I am repeating what the police told me.

No, you stated it as fact and you are wrong.

He was local so we let it go but he’s never done it since

If it was a lightweight drone such as a Mavic Mini there’s nothing you could do about it anyway!
