Chile: Protesters bring down a police drone using dozens of laser pointers ⚠️ Flashlight Warning ⚠️

Показать описание
This is the moment a police drone is being forced to crash and land by protesters in Chile using simple pointer lasers to blind the drone.

These protesters didn't use any physical or gun force to bring the drone down. Instead, they used another form of technology: lasers. A lot of bright green laser beams were pointed in unison at the drone, which can be seen moving erratically, before quickly falling down to Earth. 

A few theories about how the drone was brought down by the lasers are floating around many social media. Some believe the lasers are powerful enough to melt the plastic on the drone if it is a cheap drone. Some others believe the lasers' lights would blind the drone operator's vision through the camera, and the drone would go into autopilot mode and land as a failsafe. Others think that with that many lasers pointing at the drone, it would overheat and malfunction. Speculations that between 40 to 50 lasers were being pointed at the drone have circulated online, and the video certainly demonstrates that these estimates may be true. If that is the case, that's certainly enough lasers to blind the drone's camera lens.

Meanwhile back at the laser company:
I can't believe my plan to sell more lasers worked!

The helicopter part looks like the most insane rave party ever.

For all those speculating, the drones do NOT need optics to fly. The pilot probably kept it up to long, blinded (fpv) from seeing or hit something etc.

I just realized how freaking dangerous this is for other airborne vehicles, plane and helicopers.

First recorded event of regular people using laser weapons to attack a robot. We have official entered the star wars universe.

The pilot probably smashed his controller and had a gamer rage moment lol

This just shows how important and effective it is if we all collectively stand against something. If we ALL refuse to just stop playing their game we can for the most part do anything we want.

In 10 years, this will be reuploaded as a UFO sighting video in 144p.

Military: we have 3 million dollar lasers.
These people: we have 3 million, dollar lasers

I love the lasers, but for the future, you could also find out the radio frequency they use for it and transmit. You're closer to the drone than the operator, so your trasmitted signal is MUCH stronger.

Depending on your perspective and how cynical you are, this might have been the biggest success to come out of these protests. I remember seeing protestors throwing a paco's motorcycle into the Mapocho, that was pretty good too. I dunno if it did anything to fix the pension system or make Chile any more of a dignified place to live, but there's certainly a catharsis attached to all of it.

I like how their immediate response to winning was "fuck it, kazoo time."

the plan originally was to have all the cats in the neighborhood attack the drone.

Police: "we have drone, we have guns, what do you have?"

Protesters: *"we have lasers"*

I’m curious, how did this cause the drone to go down?

The same technique used to disable security cameras by the Hong Kong protesters.
