sounds like a good reason to target any helicopters flying overhead with green lasers.
Someone I know is a military pilot. The green lasers were especially rough, because the light would get spread through the entire cockpit getting split up by the windshield, and even worse when he was flying with nightvision.
..... do with this information what you will.
And now the DEA's got a chopper in the air,
I wake up screamin' like I'm back over there,
I learned a thing or two from Charlie, don't you know?
You better stay away from Copperhead Road.
Federal offense and highly illegal. They take this extremely serious. Whatever target you were before, expect and multiple time increase in tracking doing this. They will make an example of you.
Source. Local police chases and FAA raids/reporting. Do not do this. You'd be better off finding another method.
you know what else is illegal?
I don't give a flying fuck what they think is illegal anymore since none of them give a shit about the rule of law anymore.
the helicopter is the flying fuck
Well there's open source open hardware anti-air missiles.
Also it sounds innocuous and green laser diodes cost 2$ so if everyone has them they won't be able to single out anyone.
Also when tghe copters are down, how are they going to track you? Drones, but that's the real purpose of the laser CCDs fry much much easier than eyes.
The surveillance state will not stop by beingpolitely ask but by being physically dismantled. The alternative is perpetual subjugation, the end of history, as far as you are concerned you become as useful and helpless as any other farm animal once this power becomes consolidated.
Our democracy is fake because of first past the post, ranked choice is a red herring. Proportionnal representation or your children will live in work farms. Like every fight before, this is an existential crisis for your perpetual subjugation.
They chose to make the sky a weapon, take the sky away from them.
Think a drone could get up above it and drop something into the propeller?
Drop it on the tail prop so they start spinning and get hella dizza and throw up.
I would be shocked if they aren't equipped with puke bags for such an event and then your plan is foiled.
I used helicopters a lot when I was on mountain rescue.
I never saw an air sick bag
That's just impolite.
