Do you have your own ADS-B receiver or how do you know it doesn't have ADS-B?

You can track them with sites like FlightAware or FlightRadar24. Just zoom in to where your house is. Click on a plane. If it's not on the map, it likely isn't broadcasting ADSB

They aren't visible on these sites, first thing I checked. Maybe they've requested delisting but I think they're just not broadcasting—specifically to avoid consequences of their reckless flying.

As others have noted these commercial services don't show every plane, the owners of planes may request to hide their planes there, that's why I asked how you can be sure.

Other sites like https://globe.adsbexchange.com or https://globe.adsb.fi don't filter aircrafts, they even show military planes (well, if they have ADS-B enabled). Though they don't have coverage above oceans, as satellite ads-b is expensive. (These sites look nearly the same, as they both use tar1090 as the webui, but they may have different coverage)

These sites, may sometimes have less coverage, as the sites you mentioned are way more popular. But if your area has coverage by these sites, you can be sure that you'll see every plane if it has ADS-B.

You could even replay, if you know the time and date when the plane passed, by appending ?replay to the URL.

e.g. https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?replay

Laser pointers mounted on auto-aiming platforms, connected to the ADS-B servers.. no ADS-B data? Aim, fire!

No. Big crime. FAA calls FBI. FBI calls local PD. Men in black. Door kicked in. Handcuffs. General bad vibes.

ADSBExchange is more complete (at least in my area).

These services rely on volunteers setting up receivers and feeding them data. It is entirely possible that there is just no local coverage that would receive the low flying aircraft.

A 30usd rtl-sdr dongle is enough to receive local ads-b signals, if one wants to test it.
