People think that whenever something is being tested, that they need to be fully informed first.

Crazy thing - you might need to check your property... rights? agreement? Whatever it's called - because there's a good to fair chance that you don't actually own the airspace above your property, nor the mineral rights to any geological finds below your property.
Read a whole thing about someone trying to set a 'no-fly-zone' over their house and getting BTFO'd by their own property rights agreement, then the same thing later about a dude that found a geode deposit on his land and them also telling him that he doesn't own it.

In honesty pretty much no private citizen even owns their land at all. But, fuck that, if the law is unjust, the American spirit burning within me says, come and stop me. I KNOW i dont own that airspace, because blackhawks run exercises through the rivers near my house and directly over my field at very low altitudes (so low they saw me out sun bathing and came back for a second look, must have been sorely disappointed to see a dick flop at them). But yea, is it technically legal, almost certainly not, but it violates the spirit of this country and the founding fathers would be on my side, and really, being morally right is far more important and valid to me than being legally right.

A county recorder might not say I own the airspace, but the pile of electronic parts in my field says I do.

I know this place is usually filled with political events (like I also usually post) but this seemed like a fun story.

Problem-Reaction-Solution.
The creeps and perverts in power are suddenly scared of drone videos, like Rusty Shackleford's videos of Epstiens island.
How to stop this anonymous video footage? Use gov funds to fly HUGE 6ft across drones around until someone notices, then use the media to scare the public.
They want consumer drones not only registered to an owner, but to ID themselves inflight so they can get revenge. This is a push for registration, and identifiable markings or gps tagging.

Using a good jammer is a much better idea than shooting drones. Shooting at drones can be verified a lot easier. Drop es that can not orientate themselves can't fly correctly any more.

Back in my day we used to call those UFOs.
