Drones trespassing in my property

Idk if anyone had a similar problem before, but I live in EU by the countryside, at first there were only a few but now it happens more and more often to see drones passing over my house, I am sure they are civilian drones because law enforcement has no reason to use them since the area is quiet (and honestly I doubt they would be able to do so), however it bothers me enough to know that there are people who get over the fence and enter my property going to look at what they want, does anyone have any advice on what to do?

isolatedscotch,

commercial drones must have by law a remote ID, think of it like a unique number for each drone, so you might want to try using some phone apps like DroneTag to get that ID and then report it to the authorities. They will have a record of who that drone belongs to.

Follow the drone until it lands

What country?

ben_dover,

there’s a software package floating around to hijack drones and remote control them yourself. it might be time to test the drone’s security capabilities

Mammothmothman,

Are you legally allowed to own a shotgun?

BleatingZombie,

Don’t shoot down drones. In the US it counts as shooting down an aircraft and you’ll have the FAA knocking at your door

Alexstarfire,

I’d be very surprised if that were true for ones not registered with the FAA.

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

OP stated this was in europe. Out of the FAA’s jurisdiction. The EASA may have similar rules though

justme,

Just looked it up for Germany: over residential areas you need either “an explicit permission of the owner”, or “it is very light (<250g) and has no ability to record video, audio or radio” or “it is more then 100m above ground, not in the night and some other fingerprint” [1].

In all EU you actually need a registration on your some clearly visible [2].

So, of they are below 100m or in the night, just call the authorities. If you live a bit outside it might just not clear from above that it’s private property.

How is it trespassing? How far up do you “own” ? 5m , 200m, 1000km?

On the other hand, get a another drone and play chasey wott theirs, maybe and some talons to yours and swoop, eagle style ?

glasgitarrewelt,

E.g. in germany it is not allowed to fly over private property with a drone (equipped with a camera), no matter the height. You have to stay above offical streets. And maximum flight hight is 120 m, if I remember correctly.

I guess it’s EU law, so it should be simmilar in other EU countries.

interdimensionalmeme,

Next CIA satellite over my house, I will legally shoot down with mu pulse laser !

glasgitarrewelt,

In Germany you are only allowed to shoot your pulse laser with 24 giga-watt max. I guess it’s an EU law, so should be the same for all of europe.

fine_sandy_bottom,

Trespass can mean merely imposing on the rights of another.

So if one is entitled to privacy on their property, then flying a drone over it is trespass.

LeLachs,

Here is a great defcon talk that might give you some ideas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CzURm7OpAA

Hugh_Jeggs,

Get yourself a little beehive OP.

Every time you see a drone, report it for killing your bees, sit back and watch the EU busybodies go fuckin mental about it

The cunt who’s doing it will be in The Hague within a week 😂

BearOfaTime,

Apparently, old-fashioned spark radios can disrupt comms for consumer drones. There are kits for people who are interested in learning about early radio tech.

I’ve not verified this myself.

causing RF interference on purpose is definitely illegal wherever this person lives

mihor,

Not on the civilian spectrum, surely?

mihor,

NAL, but this is about ‘authorized radio communications’, which to me seems like the GSM/LTE spectrum and GPS and similar, not the civilian one, please correct me if I’m wrong as I’m not sure about the scope of the ‘authorized comms’ term.

Also, OP is in the EU, so laws may differ significantly here.

OP is in the EU. I don’t think anything the FCC says has any relevance to their situation.

Which means finding a personal purpose for using the spark radio, that way it remains a side-effect.

Might me time for some electrical experiments.

Passerby6497,

That only works so many times before the authorities can see through the ruse unfortunately.

possiblylinux127,

What about mistakingly

Etterra,
  • Step 1. Get the loudest, most assertive dog possible (as long as it never bites people).
  • Step 2. Install a doggie-door.
  • Step 3. Train it to wreck drones that land inside the fence perimeter.

I think jamming the radio would be much easier and faster

scutiger,

Also super illegal and easy to get caught for.

fiercekitten,

If OP only turns it on when there is a drone above their house, how would it be easy to get caught?

KazuchijouNo,

“Hey! Why does my drone keep malfunctioning every time I fly it over this one house in particular?”

delirious_owl,
@delirious_owl@discuss.online avatar

More like, “shit, I totally lost contact with my drone when I flew it over this home, and i never saw it again. Never gonna do that again”

scutiger,

You can’t really get a jammer to disable only a drone. The jamming will affect an area all around, likely affecting the neighbors’ wifi, bluetooth connections, and other radio signals like cellphones, for example.

If that happens, it would get noticed, reported, and investigated very quickly.

delirious_owl,
@delirious_owl@discuss.online avatar

that’s how you use it.

delirious_owl,
@delirious_owl@discuss.online avatar

Did you also say that to folks who worked on the underground railroad?

Do what’s right, not what’s legal.

scutiger,

Are you really comparing someone flying a drone over your property to slavery?

possiblylinux127,

“They’re the same picture”

Synnr, (edited )

Just to confirm the obvious. Downvotes are expected but OP you should read this.

They are close enough to see that they are quad copters, and they make a buzzing noise, correct?

There have been a lot of UAP flaps where the objects (not quad copter looking) will fly low over the countryside, just above the tree-lines to much higher. They usually make no noise aside from reports of static or screeching or electronic interference.

Unlikely to be the case but if so, report to your countries MUFON type department and get as much evidence (video with sound, drawings, time and date, etc) as you can.

There is something else out there, whether it’s military black projects mapping areas or what have you, and it needs to be documented.

If it is for sure quad copter drones, you can get a device to blast the 2.4Ghz spectrum for a short time and make them ‘phone home’ and the operators will stop flying them over your property once they realize something wrong keeps happening when they do. Legality varies.

Many tutorials available to DIY. You can also buy them pre-built, just more expensive.

Geobloke,

You drink great northern beers in Ohio? I mean they are decent beers, but didn’t think they’d made it across the Pacific

possiblylinux127,

Do you own a shotgun? Just shoot it out of the sky.

Just minding that’s a terrible idea

Etterra,

Clearly. Use a boomerang instead.

possiblylinux127,

Honestly that might work if you are going the destructive route

dessalines,

This works if they fly low enough

HaleHirsute,

That some dystopian shit!

doofy77,

Didn’t know they drank great northern piss in Ohio.

TassieTosser,

They don’t. They’re a QLD couple that got in trouble for being absolute legends and knocking down their neighbour’s drone.

brygphilomena,

Police drones. Surveillance “for your protection”

Fuck them!

Woht24,

Portsmouth Ohio, fat redneck throwing a bottle of shit Australian beer and the police not executing a no knock warrant and murdering him for his crimes?

I call bullshit.

harrys_balzac,

He’s white, it’s okay.

possiblylinux127,

That guy deserves an award

I never understood anti drug drones. You’d think criminals would just go inside or get a pavilion

That photo is real but that caption isn’t.

That was taken in Australia with one of our better beers front and centre

You can also use an anti-drone gun
