You sure about that "getting off light" part? The article says he was charged with a felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison.
Yep, according to the article shooting the drone carries the same sentencing as shooting at a commercial airliner π they are taking that shit very seriously
I wonder how that works in Deer Trail Colorado where they legalized drone hunting?
If you mean "hunting and downing drones" then it doesn't matter. Federal law should trump county law.
I mean, weβre talking about Florida.
But given that fact, itβs probably more dependent on whether it was a white or black drone.
No, it's an FAA -- i.e. federal -- thing.
