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