#2People will probably start building bigger drones with bigger nets to catch the police drones. It's just a matter of time.

or smaller drones to go thru the nets.
or drones that don't look like drones:

#4Something like this seems like it would be more efficient: http://www.cadincadout.com/dronedefender-radio-gun-waves-dow...

#5Seems it would be equally effective, and a lot less weight, to just drape a bunch of monofilament lines below rather than a full-on net. Those would get tangled in the "bad" drone's rotors well enough, I'd reckon.

Begun, the drone war has.

"Bionic Bird benefits from strict quality controls that are so rigorous that each bird is built like a prototype." ....um, what?

#8Game of Drones!

#9Can't decide between "fascinating high-tech solution (drone)" and "fascinating low-tech solution (net)". Which one is it?

Running steel cable or nets, instead of monofilament wire, is pretty much SOP for denying an area from rotorcraft. There's a pretty cool article on Wikipedia about prison escapes by helicopter [1] that explains how this is often implemented in high-security correctional facilities.
