A. Michael Froomkin and Zak Colangelo on “Self-Defense Against Robots”
- jbrady 13y agoThis happened here in Seattle last year - a woman living next to a park looked out her second story bedroom window to find one of those toy-store, remote-controlled helo-drones hovering outside. Cops told us (media) she could have disabled it legally, provided she didn't break the law doing so (i.e.: firing a gun at it in the middle of the city).

- platz 13y agoInteresting, I was looking for the seattle story and instead turned up this interesting snippet: http://seattletimes.com/html/nationworld/2021430981_faawarningdronesxml.html http://seattletimes.com/html/nationworld/2021430981_faawarni... "the tiny farming community of Deer Trail, Colo., that would encourage hunters to shoot down drones" "Under the proposed ordinance, Deer Trail would grant hunting permits to shoot drones. The permits would cost $25 each. The town would also encourage drone hunting by awarding $100 to anyone who presents a valid hunting license and identifiable pieces of a drone that has been shot down."
