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