    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 👀 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, we’re talking about Florida.

      But given that fact, it’s probably more dependent on whether it was a white or black drone.

        No, it’s an FAA – i.e. federal – thing.
