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