Hey #nostr while we're on the topic of Freedom.. π― did you π know that shooting down a drone is illegal? π I didn't π either.. and no I did not shoot one π down.. π― but I do fly them and I've π seen π friends of mine talk about shooting π them out of the sky if π they fly over their property... so let me share why this is a monumentally bad π choice. From π― aerocorner.com π - Shooting π an aircraft is a federal crime - Firing a weapon may be π considered π criminal mischief π - State and local π laws may include additional π restrictions π for firing weapons π - Homeowners do not π― βownβ the airspace above their properties - π€ Claiming self-defense is not a viable option - The drone operator may sue the π€ shooter in π₯ civil court π Under π Title 18 π US Code π€ 32, the destruction of aircraft π₯ is a π₯ federal crime. The π₯ Federal π Aviation Administration (FAA) classifies π all types of drones as βaircraft.β (this means you can π go to prison π― for doing π it) π GN π― all and keep #flying
