CBS This Morning reports that NYPD is planning ways to disable drones. While this reports focuses on weaponized drones I think NYPDs actions effect anyone flying in NYC.
After seeing stories like this, and attitudes of the law enforcement officers in it, I think it is a matter of time until police respond to someone flying a multirotor around with guns drawn.
This is typical negative sensationalism of journalism to increase their audience.
+1 Herman, gangsters and terrorists do not need drones to carry out attacks that could be much more easily be done by foot, by car, in metro stations, etc
I think this is just more fuel for fear against drones. There is real danger as it is with a car loaded with bombs, a crazy guy shooting people. You could make same kind of video showing the danger of minivans loaded with fertilizer bombs or against hunting rifles used by snipers, but those topics are not news.

I will pay close attention to how the FCC handles their supposed jamming device.
Shame on CBS for this one sided fear mongering story.
