I think I may have just stopped a crime while flying. I was hovering my M2P above my house while running down my full batteries and I noticed a car approaching me on the street driving very slowly and pulling up to the curb near the driveways. It didn’t occur to me at first what they were doing until they stopped at a neighbors’ mailbox. That one is locked so they kept going and checking mailboxes (they were also locked), but then they most likely saw my drone. They stopped for a bit probably watching it, and then they immediately turned around and left the neighborhood. Unfortunately, I was not able to get the license plate as I kept the drone away from them, but I don’t think they’ll ever come to our neighborhood again.
Has anyone else stopped a crime in progress with a drone?
I’ve had other opportunities to do it, but didn’t have a drone at the time which I wish I did. It’s usually illegal trash dumpers out in the desert. I dream of being able to fly a drone up to where I can get a good shot for their mugs and their vehicle plates during their crime in progress. Of course, most people out there are carrying, so dealing with them is a different story.
