Amazon, Alphabet and Uber Drones Are Coming

This is an excellent article. That said, holy shit those are going to be <i>loud</i>. The Wing drone hovers at 24 feet while it lowers its payload? The others descend entirely to the ground? They&#x27;re typically going to hover just a few hundred feet above the ground? If these are roughly as loud as the quietest DJI drones (and I suspect they will be louder as they are heavier and have larger payloads), they are going to be incessantly annoying.

On NextDoor people get really outraged whenever they see a drone flying around. I always see comments about shooting them down even though the city uses them.

I wonder what the crime would be if you destroyed one of these drones while passing over your properties? A paintball gun should be enough to take it out and make it fall. Maybe we should look at destroying them, or making anti drone drones.<p>If I have a big property and shot down drones with a shotgun, is that a crime?
