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