An effective way of reducing aircraft noise!


Police saying they don't want to shoot it down (this assumes they've
literally got it in their sights) because of stray bullets, whereas a
more appropriate technology would be a shotgun.


More like they haven't got anyone who's a good enough shot. Anyway, surely
they've got a jammer by now? This is hardly a new problem and commercial drones
only operate on a small range of frequencies so unless this is a home brew
one they could have it on the ground in seconds.
