    Or another drone to battle with the offending drone. Like an old school dogfight.

    Very illegal.

    It also just causes the quad to hover where you target it, at least until it's battery fails. Within the US, the operator of the jamming system would be liable for the damage to the quad and any damage on the ground from it falling... (Hard to prove/prosecute, but that doesn't change the fact that it's illegal for several reasons.)

    Buy bigger drone and hang a net from it. Fly over little drone and drag the net across the props.

    It's illegal to do that. 83feet is absolutely the minimum that is listed as too low in supreme court decisions.

    United States v. Causby, 328 US 256 - Supreme Court 1946

    https://aviation.uslegal.com/ownersh...over-property/
    has a list of citations to read over also

    Edited to add US v Causby has been used successfully to defend someone who shot down a UAV with a firearm from charges at least once that I know of.

    I've seen the Causby case cited elsewhere, and I've never heard of it being used to justify shooting a UAV down. If you care to cite the case, I'd like to see it.

    The FAA has yet to make a determination for an airspace floor for multi-rotors. They have set an airspace ceiling of 400'. Nowhere in the FAA guidelines for UAS is there any mention of an airspace floor (at least not that I've ever come across...)

    The way Causby is written is too vague for real world application to "drones".




    Also, if the OP's in-laws shoot the drone down in the neighborhood, they are likely breaking laws by discharging a firearm inside city/neighborhood limits.

    Now, all of that said, I will say this as an owner and pilot of such aircraft.

    Be a kind and courteous pilot, and avoid all the BS anyway.

    Jus' sayin'...

    Light a fire for a man, and he'll be warm for a day, light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life...

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
