It’s all about enterprising egocentric individuals deciding they have rights to broadcast their peeping skills for profit on YouTube. Let the narcissistic toy drone flyers stay over their own land.

There is certainly nothing wrong with defending myself with SAFE technology that blocks or disables people like that. Does your sky is falling theory only to apply to kids like the one hospitalized thanks to the January drone incident? Privacy is important too.
Yeah, I can see how that might worry you, if not for:
- The accident was in December, not January (okay, doesn't matter too much)
- If you had 25,000 people in your yard then it would illegal for a drone to hover overhead
- The drone involved in this accident was likely over the water and NOT over the crowd.
- Flying dozens (hundreds?) of drones above the 25,000 people in your yard would certainly be illegal
- But yeah, this is JUST LIKE a single drone flying over empty land while viewing a construction area

Define "wrong." To me, using an illegal device is wrong. It is highly questionable to define a device which is intended to interfere with the controlled flight of a drone as SAFE. There are several things wrong with using an illegal device that interferes with the safe flight of a drone is.
