I normally park a few blocks away and walk.

Your method doesn't work in this case.

You go in, do your business. Operator sends the drone up to loiter. You come out. Operator tails you with the drone to your car to try and get a facial and plates. Getting those shots on the drone, I don't think it'd be more than 50-100 ft up in the air with a dji mini pro drone. So the drone hum / lights should be somewhat noticeable (in one of the FB shots, you see someone looking at the drone).

The best course of action is for you to take out your own dji mini pro drone that you kept in your pocket and tail their drone and try to ID them, LOL. The one tailing you has maybe half its battery while yours has full battery. So unless someone wants to lose a drone, you would have a good chance of ID'ing them.

Shooting with a DSLR and a powerful zoom lens makes much more sense.

The videos posted on FB, and if you frame by frame it, you can make out license plate pretty clear. The DJI mini pro 3/4 has a decent camera and is under 249 g. To be clear, with those shots, the drones aren't loitering at max altitude.

It would be funny if someone else had a drone follows that person's drone to see who they are.

Edit: Now that I think about it, its highly unlikely person just has a drone loitering. Battery only lasts 30min, so a 4 hour recon would be 8 batteries.

Its interesting how a place can go from No extra services, or a do it yours self place, to a FS place in months.

Went to the place in Aloha. Near the Dr Feelgoods pub. By the water store. Had a nice massage. Left happy. Actually her massage was great. I was stiff and sore from work. Not used to this physical stuff. Heavy lifting. But she did a good job.

Cheers for now stay dry Hot weather coming this week.

Where they'd probably get in trouble is operating the drone over a public lot and moving vehicles, both for safety and harassment issues.

Many drones have an auto-landing feature if it loses connection with the operator or is low on battery, so a hunk of metal and plastic dropping out of the sky into a busy roadway is likely to snarl up traffic or cause an accident.

As for harassment, you can be trespassed if told to leave by the store owners, not to mention it would be interfering with their business by scaring off customers, both of the parlor and surrounding stores. There's also a couple bills proposed last year dealing with harassment of individuals.

I was at zen foot in Beaverton, Leah gives an excellent massage giving the pressure you want, she also gives the best prostrate massage in town. When I was there I saw a new girl. She looks younger. I will try her next time.

On google maps. If you scroll back in your timeline. All the places you go has been recorded and any one could see where you have gone. You can opt out of that by turning off your tracking in settings. While handy. If a significant other was searching your phone. You might have some explaining to do why you were parked at an AMP for half an our or an hour.

Off to the AMPs this weekend. I have a back up. Oh to decide which one to visit So many so little time.

Stay safe out there. Tons of creepers.

As for the other place. Your in public and I believe there is no law to protect you from getting videoed leaving an AMP. It would be fun to take down the drone though. Nice strange FB post. I wonder what made him or her so mad to set up and go to all the work to do that. Must of not gotten his happy ending. , and wants to save the world. You would think there are more productive things to do with your time and money. Like go protest on a college campus. LOL. Long live America. Sing the national anthem.

I have not visited a bunch of AMPs in the SE side of town in a while. So many break ins on cars. No safe place to park around SE much. I will read the reviews and see what is the current best place.

Cheers guys.

They continue to record them walking out, sometimes take a face pic or get the license plate number or both, take pictures of their vehicle, and them blast them on the Facebook page. So if you have seen a drone above you while walking out of a parlor, changes are your on this site.

The FB group is called, "Busted: Vancouver Parlor Patrol" or https://www.facebook.com/parlorpatrol and looks as if they are primarily in Vancouver, but they do venture out to Portland and even Salem. I never knew there was such a site and I am sure many others are also unaware. Stay alert out there.

Guess go wearing a hat and covid mask back on LOL.

Checked it out without logging in, yeah looks they venture out into the PDX metro from time to time. Only a matter of time until they meet that one monger that escalates things and takes down that drone and / or that operator.
