Well MavicFT1P You can call me Sailor Moon if you like, whatever that means. However I am not a complete fool. I have a Yachtmaster Offshore Certificate and am an examiner for the ICC (International Certificate of Competence). I have also done exciting things such as cutting up Neil Kinnock as he was turning into Labour Party HQ, and have eaten one of Roger Whittaker's tomatoes from his garden.
We shall be going to extreme N Scotland and Skye again this year for a month in our Electric Kona, went 3 years ago in the Zoe.
I have been flying drones for several years, cheepie £50 ones not very well , but then an Anafi and now a Platinum. The Anafi was nice but hung up and crashed. Got a refund eventually and now have the Platinum. A different animal. I did stupidly damage it flying inside but the insurance worked well and it cost me £100, but pleased.
There is a lot to learn with the Platinum, it also helps me instinctively flying it like helming a small responsive yacht. However I am a hanger on with yachts because my wife turned up with triplets 27 years ago and I sold mine. But I get out frequently and am working up to active track on my friends boats. I will be careful.
Great forum.

Hey, got a crazy lady today, too. She: gets out to a public park, sets up picnic, undresses to bikini, gets out and yells at me to "point the drone away from her".
I promptly told her the drone *is* actually turned 180 away from her, she's in a public space, and if I pointed the drone at her, she'd look like a 3x3 blob of pixels from 80m AGL.
I swear, the worst part of this hobby is tech illiterate bystanders.

I have had people come up to me in the local park here and commend me on how I'm operating my Zoom. Like when someone is walking past I raise the drown above head level and wait till they pass , a lot of them recount stories of people not so careful. Stories of people purposely frightening children and 'dive bombing' people with their drones. Luckily people in the park here tend to watch your actions first before going ballistic.
I Can come and pitch my tent in your back garden without any fear of retribution from the law.
You may set your friendly Rottweilers on to me of course, but that's another matter.
I got the same thing from a lady on a Royal owned estate until the member of staff she had complained too, informed her that I had permission and was filming for TV.
She then changed her tune and asked if she would be included in the footage?!?!?
Main thing, keep calm. Keep quiet. And ignore...... They LOVE that
The word you are looking for is "brandish". You brandish your pepper spray. Be careful as this is generally considered assault.

Adjusting it from a fixed position means just that . Adjusting or making sure its molded clip is seated well within my pocket. Thats not brandishing. It wont matter very much as the other person will most likely claim brandishing as I claim fear of violence. Jump Ball.

I disagree
Federal law defines brandished as, “with reference to a dangerous weapon (including a firearm) means that all or part of the weapon was displayed, or the presence of the weapon was otherwise made known to another person, in order to intimidate that person, regardless of whether the weapon was directly visible to that person. Accordingly, although the dangerous weapon does not have to be directly visible, the weapon must be present.” (18 USCS Appx § 1B1.1)
Pepper spray, although made from an item you can get in the produce section, is considered a weapon by most civilized countries, and is restricted to some extent in nearly all of them. Pepper spray causes temporary blindness, pain, breathing problems and panic: when it's used excessively, it can kill.
