Making an official complaint to the appropriate government enforcement agency is the exact opposite of “vigilantism”. Vigilantism would be hams deliberately crashing the drones with jammers, or something.

Hams have done just that - famously chasing the Russian woodpecker iirc off of frequencies they wanted to use.

For those curious I located the relevant wiki information. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duga_radar#Jamming_the_Woodpec....

There is no reference to the jamming being successful however.
