Hi;
I know that there was a town (out west ) that was about to pass ( last month ? ) an ordinance authorizing the shooting down of any drone that flew over their air space as a protest of the Govt policy.
Does anyone know if they did pass it or was it laughed off the agenda ?
The FAA declared shooting at, or interfering with a drone is no different than doing the same to any other registered aircraft. The F in FAA is for Federal. So no matter what that town or state says, you still go to
Federal prison. And being that the F has tens of millions of your hard earned dollars invested in each camera laden drone. I'm guessing the first person to shoot at one is going to end up a pretty unpleasant "example" (cleaning bed pans in Guantanamo Bay with their shirt).
I can still easily see where there's going to be people posing next to their kills on Youtube (Last picture they'll ever be in besides a mug shot).
