The NYPD drones buzz my neighborhood repeatedly during the summer months, and they are relatively small drones. Incredibly loud and distracting. I'm not looking forward to deliveries via heavier, louder drones.
Fucking with a Cop's toys is a reliably way to suddenly have a lot of trouble with the cops. It doesn't matter what the law says either, because unless you can find a prior case that specifically covers that law, a cop is not required to respect the law.
