You want to fly a multi-hundred dollar device loaded with radios that constantly broadcasts out a unique ID and possibly your FAA ID and use it for crime?

Or even better yet, get arrested halfway to trying to dip your drone into paint on a sidewalk?

Just throw a rock at the stupid thing.

In 1950s UK every country kid had a catapult in their pocket. Maybe that is what we should do. Give the kids catapults and tell them not to use them on Flock cameras. That is usually effective at making kids so stuff

I was thinking the same thing, much cheaper than a paintball gun, and less conspicuous.

A well made catapult in the right hands with a good aim is deadly.

You mean a slingshot?

(Or a trebuchet?)

Do all drones do this now? Is this required by law for manufacturers to implement?

Had a friend who worked on designing systems to pick these signals up around airports

Drones over 250 grams or for any drone operated commercially under part 107 registration is required. But, its easy to just build your own or desolder the id chip if you dont want it.
