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