The method demonstrated in the video is problematic for a commoner like me to apply, since it not only comes with serious electrical hazards when handling the high voltage capacitor in the microwave, but it also comes with the risk of endangering other peoples electronics, causing fire hazards or affecting radiological infrastructure that is protected by law.

Our entire house, containing eight households, are furious at our neighbors living across the street, because they are flying their drone up to our windows and hover. It is equipped with something that resembles a lens.

I'd shoot it down, but that leaves a trail and is not subtle. I really don't want to risk my gun "career", since I want to get licensed for heavier caliber sometime next year.

The police don't do nothing about it, since it's not illegal to maneuver in populated areas. It's neither directly illegal to film people, even though they indirectly could be charged with harassment. I don't have or want to spend the funds for a civil lawsuit.

What are my offensive and defensive options?

Learn falconry, buy and train falcon to attack drones.

More seriously those cheaper drones can be taken down fairly easy, especially hovering in one spot. Honestly a few shots from a cheap airsoft gun should do the trick. Or if you can figure out the model, you can get a controller for it, then as it gets close, your controller will take over as it would be the stronger signal. I'm assuming it's a cheaper model as any serious enthusiast wouldn't use their drone like this, and cheap models have very basic signals, MAYBE it would have 2 channels to switch back and forth from? So you get the model controller, take over control, land it in your yard and turn it off. Who knows what happened to it after that?

    I don't think that getting another controller would work with modern digital rc tech. You pair a drone with its controller and then it will only work with that controller. That way people multiple people can use multiple drone in the same area to film the same event, or race them, etc.
