11 Gross. With public fear of drones increasing due to available videos of people dying to them in foreign wars, this type of tech will become more common, even where it's not needed for public safety. I personally hate surveillance technologies employed by governments and multinational corporations. I think spoofing these systems and introducing 'noise' is a valid response. Something like having your 5 buddies carrying emitters in their backpacks to give false signals and waste resources.
Hate to see our government spend billions on cracking down on hobbyists while we suffer through a lack of affordable healthcare and plummeting quality of life.

41 22-Nov-2023, 02:12 PM (This post was last modified: 22-Nov-2023, 02:14 PM by Pathfinder075.) Someone I talk to online wrote a little program that does that, specifically for DJI camera drones. He analysed how the DJI drones send their locations and wrote a spoofer program coupled with (off the top of my head) a 2.4GHz transmitter. It on paper, allows you to spoof 20 id's into an area that all appear to be moving. This is not connected to RID in the US, this was to get around the tracking for DJI specifically so when some nump uses a tracking app they see a lot of ghost signals and have a harder time finding the real one. It probably won't pull the wool over any LEO eyes, but for the casual snoopers it adds a buffer.
The code and instructions are on GitHub somewhere. Can't remember the exact URL, nor do I have anything DJI, so irrelevant to me anyway.
