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