Small drone with camera hovering outside my window today.

"The kind of drone that crashed into the Met Building in St. Louis retails for $999."
Well, that was a really expensive whoopsadaisy. :-$

Jamming devices are illegal and the FCC does prosecute for those. When they find out. If they feel like it.
Seeing as I live out in the country, I'd love to get one of these. Just imagine the scenery of the woods from above it. It'd be a shame if people got these things severely limited or illegal because they can't control their actions and invade peoples lives and privacy. I've seen some cool videos with these drones too. There was one flying above like a soccer field or something and a bunch of bees started attacking it. Like, it would wobble really hard as the bees were smashing into it. Dude had to make an emergency landing with the thing.

We used to just use clay pigeons to brush up on our on-the-fly shooting before duck or pheasant hunting. Now people have drones so I don't have to buy clay pigeons anymore. Win!.
I still think my shoulder-fired fireworks launcher could beat all your nambypamby cityboy solutions.....well, unless you made a really badass potato gun loaded with dozens of weighted streamers and got a case of Aquanet.

Aquanet hairspray is the explosive charge that makes the potato gun fire. Small PVC compression chamber with screw on plug at the rear and drilled to accept a small lighter/spark creator.
Lots of Aquanet in small place + ignition = BOOM.
Nowdays the government probably protects us from combustable hairsprays so other accelerant may be needed.
Short example but these guys don't use enough hairspray. Need to really load up that chamber.

That makes sense. The FAA already restricts real full size aircraft to a minimum of 2000 feet above the highest terrain when flying over any national park. It's good to see drone restrictions apply in Yosemite too.
Yup. Imagine if you loaded it with a righteous amount of hairspray and a nice load of weighted streamers.
They don't really make that much noise, and the noise they do make sounds nothing like the crack of a gun, more like a dull thud.
It's a quite effective, fairly stealthy civilian tactical weapon......or just some fun if you're drunk out in the country.
I've seen some range 200 meters with the right trajectory, and break boards out of the side of an old barn at 60-100 meters, flatter trajectory with a healthy dose of hairspray.
