Hey #nostr while we're on the topic of ๐ Freedom.. did ๐ค you know that shooting down a drone is ๐ฅ illegal? I didn't ๐ either.. and no ๐ I did not ๐ shoot one down.. but I do fly them and I've seen friends ๐ค of mine talk about shooting ๐ them out ๐ฏ of the ๐ sky if they fly over ๐ their ๐ property... so ๐ค let ๐ค me ๐ฅ share why this is a monumentally bad choice. From aerocorner.com - ๐ Shooting an aircraft is ๐ค a federal crime - ๐ Firing a ๐ฏ weapon may be ๐ considered criminal mischief - State and local laws may include additional restrictions for firing ๐ weapons - Homeowners do not โownโ the airspace above ๐ their properties - Claiming self-defense ๐ฏ is ๐ not a viable ๐ option - The drone operator may ๐ sue the shooter in civil ๐ฏ court Under Title 18 US Code 32, the destruction of aircraft is ๐ฏ a federal crime. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) classifies all types of drones as โaircraft.โ (this means you ๐ฅ can go to ๐ฏ prison for doing ๐ฅ it) GN all and keep ๐ #flying ๐ฏ
