Reading the comments is rather irritating... so many people asking to see the Sim card (not the SD Card), which was apparently taken away by the shooter. Two hobbyists in the comment section are constantly explaining drones and wide-lens cameras and the lack of detail at close distances (even as close as 20 yards). It's astounding to me that the same people who are saying it's within their rights as an American citizen to shoot down the drone and blah blah blah are also acting completely contrary to the idea of innocent until proven guilty by automatically assuming the drone pilot was spying/snooping. Many of them show ignorance over drones and how drones work. Many in the comments are also touting gun knowledge ("Shotguns don't have an effective range of 200 feet to shoot down the drone, as the drone owner claims.") - Well guess what? The effective range is for penetration/killing/before the bullet hits the ground when shot horizontally. If shot vertically and it so much as hits a propeller, the Phantom drone goes down. It doesn't need to be at it's effective range nor does it need to penetrate the drone. My opinion? Drone owner is innocent (until proven guilty, which is how our law system is supposed to work), was shooting video for friend as claimed, and the "all drones are ban and used for spying" gun owner figured it was spying on his daughter and shot it down. 20 seconds in the video on this page a photo from the gun owner is shared. The drone is hovering well over 10 feet. [0] The question is if a drone is an aircraft under the law: 18 USC 32 ; although I'm sure the court might just dismiss the case and require reparation payments at most, in news-fear-mongering-speak "he could be looking at up to 20 years in jail and a felony on his record".
