Sling shot target practice.
Then they’ll start calling the drones “robotic police officers” so they can charge you with assaulting a cop, like they do with the dogs.
It would be a shame if someone were to blast it with enough RF noise to disrupt its functionality.
I hate America
I don't see what any of that has to do with noise.
"What's the situation?"
"I hear a lot of noise from a lot of people."
"Get a visual... Now what?"
"I hear a lot of noise from a lot of people and can now see the people."
"Ah-ha! I knew it! Well, the decibel meter says it's okay for this time of day, so... Grab a bite?"
"Use the facial recognition to look for people with warrants ornin probation so we can justify raiding the party without probable cause."
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The New York City Police Department said it will use drones to check out backyard parties when neighbors call to complain about large crowds this weekend.
Daughtry spoke near the end of a press conference (see video) about safety and security measures for J'Ouvert, a "traditional street festival honoring the vast heritage and culture of the Caribbean diaspora," and the West Indian Day Parade.
A privacy advocate said using drones to examine backyard parties appears to violate a New York City law called the Public Oversight of Surveillance Technology (POST) Act.
"It's a troubling announcement and it flies in the face of the POST Act... deploying drones in this way is a sci-fi inspired scenario," New York Civil Liberties Union privacy and technology strategist Daniel Schwarz said, according to the AP.
As The Verge pointed out, the NYPD's impact and use policy for drones doesn't mention using the devices to examine backyard parties.
"In accordance with the Public Oversight of Surveillance Technology Act, an addendum to this impact and use policy will be prepared as necessary to describe any additional uses of UAS."

I🖤 government surveillance!!! I feel so safe and warm and fuzzy!
Fuck these class traitors. Fuck the police. Eliminate this problem, they can't stop us as a population. Stop licking the boot, they're class traitors at the least but mostly racist, murdering, raping, thieving, sociopaths. 🏴🏴🏴
Is it illegal to have large crowds on your own private property in NYC?
NYC is serious about noise issues.
But on a holiday, so many people report gatherings that then cannot check them all. The drone lets them differentiate between a Karen reporting a bbq and someone trying to sleep while their neighbor throws a rager.
