Yeah, yeah, this is what every single drone hobbyist parrots on about when asked this question. However, when was the last time someone was actually charged and convicted (criminal not civil) for shooting down a drone flying over their property.


That guy in Florida is doing 4 years in the fed for shooting down a police drone last year.


When the drones destroyed go from $200 to $20,000 or when the falling drone kills someone, damages a vehicle, or causes a fire, an example will be set.

Right now it's uncommon and largely handled by civil courts.
