I wonder what the crime would be if you destroyed one of these drones while passing over your properties? A paintball gun should be enough to take it out and make it fall. Maybe we should look at destroying them, or making anti drone drones.
If I have a big property and shot down drones with a shotgun, is that a crime?
- v64 7y agoThere hasn't been any prominent litigation as far as I'm aware, but federal aviation law seems to indicate that shooting down a drone in some circumstances is a federal crime.

- fsagx 7y agoI think the current best answer is: "it depends." A Kentuky man shot down a drone with a shotgun, was charged, but ultimately was acquitted. https://www.cnet.com/news/judge-rules-man-had-right-to-shoot-down-drone-over-his-house/ https://www.cnet.com/news/judge-rules-man-had-right-to-shoot...
