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