Tokyo police drones use nets to catch illegally flown devices

Officers in Tokyo unveiled their plans to help fight security risks posed by drones. Civilian drones are banned in parts of the Japanese capital, but police drones will use nets to capture flying objects and bring them to the ground. Norah O'Donnell reports.

I had read that it was the yakuza who said that, after messing with drones to fight the anti-drone drones.

[@freshbeans]

that's incorrect. it was the japanese gang that said that, and it was them vs. the police

[@JustinIsHuman]

What if someone attached a net to their drone and caught one of those police drones

[@kotopult]

Then there must be even bigger net for police drone catcher.

using drone against drones, so for 1 bigger drone u will catch more drones 😀

[@williambuchanan77]

I doubt that will work if the illegal drone is flown by someone who has a faster and more manoeuvrable. Birds of prey however are much better for this task, they naturally target drones in the wild and I haven't seen a drone that can out manoeuvre them yet.

casually ignoring the fact drones have extremely fast spinning blades on them

I used the drones to destroy the drones

[@7camscdan249]

Now if they can only figure out how to stop police chases.

[@whinyb4374]

What if they start catching birds?

[@cr7forever7877]

What if that tiny drone escape faster and fly through the woods? That police drone would be stuck

[@sethanderson9381]

Genius! I like this better than those guns which override the owner's signal. This seems much more simple and practical

[@poofsplix2003]

the police are having fun tho

[@DementedSheepCrap]

What an amazing use of money, stop the drone terrorism! Pff

[@javierfito5077]

Drone wars!!!

[@DementedSheepCrap]

Couldn't drones be used to track bad guys in cars, instead of killing innocents by chasing them into desperation?

[@grandzeno8148]

What about rc cars or giant rc tanks lol
