Nobody knows how much trouble this guy is in, because the law hasn’t kept up with technology. The case comes out of New Jersey: the suspect shot a drone that his neighbor was flying over his house and blew it out of the sky.
He’s facing one count of possessing a weapon for an unlawful purpose and criminal mischief, since you’re generally not allowed to shoot inside city limits unless you’re in danger. But how would he know? Drones have become bigger and more powerful, and the military is even using them. Nobody has been shot by a weaponized drone yet, but it’s not impossible.
So do you think it should be legal or illegal to shoot a drone hovering over your property?
