I agree with your last sentence, but not with your 2nd sentence.
Last time I checked, a modern drone is equipped with a HD camera and GPS logging capabilities. That means anything that gets stolen (incl. the drone itself) will have a digital record of where and when the criminal act took place. While not foolproof, that makes it very hard to shoot down or steal from a drone and not eventually get caught.
Carjacking somebody is a lot easier than stealing from a drone. You stick a gun in someone's face and commandeer their car, then drive quickly to your chop shop. Robbing a bank is a little trickier because of security cameras, but banks get robbed every day so it aint that rare.
I respect my privacy like anyone else, but when you got a chest-thumping bravado attitude about "I'm shooting down any drone over my property", well then you just end up looking foolish and uninformed about the facts. In 10 years, try shooting down a police drone hovering over your property and tell me how easy it is and there's no real consequences.
Koz said:Now it's my turn to chuckle. Since when does the criminal element care about laws and consequences?
It will be far easier to take down a drone and steal the cargo than it would be to shoplift in a store, carjack someone, or rob a bank.
Given the slightest opportunity, bad people do bad things. They don't think about consequences.
