Paparazzi drones

I suspect that little more than a dish antenna and a spark plug is required to over-ride the radio control of these things. The use of these will piss off nearby TV users but not as much as a shotgun will piss off the police.

Comment please.

How does a dish antenna and a spark plug mess up radio control.?

A true drone can fly on its own and are pretty cheap to put together.

Untuned wideband RF source, screw up the drone's remote WiFi control, cheaper and lower power than hotwiring a microwave oven ;o)

We're discussing cheap paparazzi drones, not a military hit drone.

The cheap paparazzi "drones" are basically RC with a camera on it however for a couple of hundred dollars it is easy to install a autopilot. These things can follow a grid and land on their own when out of juice.

That may be true but not in the case of paparazzi drones.

maybe. some of these things keep the same control settings if they lose the remote control signal.

perhaps a crossbow firing a blunt bolt trailong a nylon steel line: foul one of the propellers. or even a fishing rod.

just as illegal as a shotgun(almost impossible to license in most states) firing a blunt bolt trailong a nylon steel line:

A grid of helium filled balloons each on the end of a couple of hundred metres of 5 kg nylon.

Fishing rod with a good sinker attached to the line.
