What do think of people who kill a lion or a bear? Go ahead tell us. Would you want to kill them or something? What are you really saying, that because you know that any form of hunting is immoral you have the right to intentionally disturb a hunter with a drone?

This is a privately owned internet forum with rules. This is not a true public square with open mike.

You are expressing a very strong view about a legal activity. People can feel very passionately and can get carried away which is why there are hunter harassment laws in USA.

I don't know about the whales and all that but @mavic3usa has a point on the finger gun! It can get you into trouble as a form of disorderly conduct. Man fined in court for making 'finger gun' gesture at neighbor

This is why when someone says I do not like your gun laws online you never take the bait. It will derail and shut the thread virtually every time.

The hunting law I quoted says that you may disrupt a hunt if it violates a public law (ie hunting season) or amounts to a trespass under state law. That is an example of an affirmative defense. Now, let us say you live in a state (and there are several) with laws that now criminalize aerial...

This cool AI tool can be used for forensic digital reconstruction of all aircraft using ADSB at particular location on specific date and time. The reconstruction can be layered to include all celestial and meteorological data and how it would have all looked to ground observer. This can be used...

Yes it could lead to shootings. But if the shooters do not have good reason to fire, then they can be charged with reckless endangerment.

You can test this theory by flying your drone low over a children's playground every day for one week and see if anyone stops you.

It sure sends a message to the feds. We know you will not protect our privacy or property rights or even tell us the truth about what you are doing so we will protect ourselves.
