The method demonstrated in the video is problematic for a commoner like me to apply, since it not only comes with serious electrical hazards when handling the high voltage capacitor in the microwave, but it also comes with the risk of endangering other peoples electronics, causing fire hazards or affecting radiological infrastructure that is protected by law.

Our entire house, containing eight households, are furious at our neighbors living across the street, because they are flying their drone up to our windows and hover. It is equipped with something that resembles a lens.

I’d shoot it down, but that leaves a trail and is not subtle. I really don’t want to risk my gun “career”, since I want to get licensed for heavier caliber sometime next year.

The police don’t do nothing about it, since it’s not illegal to maneuver in populated areas. It’s neither directly illegal to film people, even though they indirectly could be charged with harassment. I don’t have or want to spend the funds for a civil lawsuit.

What are my offensive and defensive options?

    Normally, in many other situations, that would be first thing I’d do, but I am not going to waste my time, energy and emotions on negotiating with people who disrespect me.

      “They’re being unreasonable” is the worst excuse to not talk to them. When you can say “knock it off, you’re unreasonable and probably illegal and do your parents even know what you’re doing” could well get them to stop

      What a shitty excuse. It’s probably kids who fly those things and their parents don’t even know because nobody has the spine to go tell them. Then you come here plotting your petty revenge for a situation that could be easily handled by talking.

      Unspoken expectations are premeditated resentments.

      Yeah, fuck that. Destroy that shit while it’s on your property. Don’t waste oxygen on wastes of oxygen.
