I've had a very interesting experience with an angry drunk person and my drone. I've always read about it but never thought it would actually happen to me.

Anyway, was flying for Canada day, taking a video of the fireworks and when I got a low battery warning, i came in and caught my P3. Then this angry drunk guy runs at me and shoves me and starts threatening me, asking me if it has a camera and why I was filming him. I calmly told him to f*k off and he kept moving forward at me every time I backed off. Anyway, dad saves the day, cops were called. He was extremely aggressive and was threatening to shoot it down with a bow and arrow. The cops took care of him, however no charges were pressed. It just wasn't worth the trouble.

What an interesting night. At least I got some cool shots of the fireworks from across the water.
Will post them soon

Glad you're ok.
Since he was actually attacking you.....a good solid right to the jaw would also have sufficed and you would have been justified

I think we will all find one person like this if we fly long enough.... everyone so far for me has asked if it had a camera n really nothing more... I dont fly below 100 feet unless I'm in my backyard tho... but still "waitting" for my "drunk person", lol
