Funny story, my co worker asked me if I flew and bothered anyone with my drone lately as I was showing him some video a couple of weeks ago. I told him not really as the terrorism task force came to my house and we both died laughing. He thought I was joking and I left it at that. It is just...

Yes but with the current laws, if I had built my own drone they would not be able to so easily use Aeroscope and would have to triangulate my location. This would make it so difficult that they probably wouldn't be able to just come to my door in 15 minutes like they had done and catch me with...

I really feel that home made drones which don't have remote ID are going to become popular. Why fly something which broadcasts all that information. If I flew a self built drone, there is no way they would be at my house or able to locate me. Flying right now is like dropping your drivers...

Thanks, after thinking about it I don't see the danger in sharing this video even if someone posted my home address. However, I see no reason in respecting someones privacy and nobody wants their address published on the internet. I would rather you guys learn just how easy it is for you to...

Here is a partial video of the Counter Terrorism task force coming to my house. Please, I didn't have to share this with you. This is at my fathers house and please respect his privacy.

You have to assume that there is Aeroscope all over a big city like NYC. It seems their aeroscope receivers can work up to 50 km or 31 miles, easy able to cover the whole of NYC. NYC is not that large so they can easily have an aeroscope in every borough of the city and easily cover the whole...

I'm not trying to hide my identity, it doesn't really matter the police were at my house. I just don't want any one from reading this forum post showing up at my house or something. This should be standard practice on anything you post on the internet. I would hope the moderators would remove...

I was just watching the home security video from when someone else answered the door at my house. These guys were running around and were all out looking for who is flying the drone. It was just ridiculous as this was before the parade. They were acting like I just shot someone and were trying...

The reason I don't mention the parade is I'm trying to remain a little bit anonymous, not that that it really matters at this point.

OK, I will post the video but will want to edit out my license plate in the background. Here is a photo from the video just in case anyone thinks I made the video up after the fact. I'm posting this on the time stamp of this forum post which is the night of all of this. I have multiple...

These were not federal police, but a branch of the local police force in my area. They were city police. They were plain clothes officers, only two of them. They luckily didn't as for much information, they did ask for my name briefly when leaving, but probably to just see if he knew the name...

You guys do know that when you fly a DJI drone you are constantly being recorded and your information is easily known to law enforcement in your area in REAL TIME. Usually they do not care or it is not worth their time because they probably know if they cracked down on this all the time then...

see & avoid? What is wrong with flying out of your window and looking at the screen of your cell phone to guide your flying? Staying by a window is warmer, and gives you extra height. Do you think I'm really making this up? What is there that makes it seem not believable. I agree that counter...

I figured it out. Basically law enforcement most likely has what is called DJI Aeroscope. This is something that has been available for years and gives you all the information about your DJI Drone. That is how they showed up so quickly to my house. I did fly over a parade path, which was 2 hours...

Counter terrorism task force showed up at my house about 15 minutes of flight. There was a parade starting in 2 hours and that is why they showed up. I wasn't flying over my house and there is no way they could have known it was from my house. They came right to my house and even in my yard. I...
