Spying drone shot down in Hillview - shooter arrested

[tcjkbt]

Interesting legal case.

If the shooter can get a jury made up of BGP'ers, sounds like he'd walk.

I hear you but you know how it is in court. The prosecution has all the advantages and you will be instructed to put personal feelings aside blah blah blah...

I'm voting to convict, but not at First Degree. It wasn't "extreme indifference to human life". Dude discharged a shotgun into the air in the middle of the suburbs. I'd probably vote for second degree: Class A Misdemeanor in KY.

 

That said, I've got some choice words for the dude flying a drone over someone else's backyard... I've got some real choice words if I have a 16-year-old daughter in the pool back there...

"Not Guilty" would be ultra choice words.

We need a "Right to Shoot" movement.

I think I'll buy my own quadcopter and attack others' when they enter my airspace. :lol2:

It would still be criminal. Destruction of Property, Criminal Mischief, etc.

If you know anyone in CA with a drone, here's a $75k reward offered by the state. One of the problems with drones. Interfering with the planes dropping water on the wildfires.

I would hope the accidental discharge of my shotgun wouldn't impact the drone hovering over my property. :thumb:

Trying to think outside of the box...how about a water cannon, er...I mean lawn sprinkler. Surely you can't get in trouble if someone just happened to fly their drone thru the area where you were watering your lawn, can you?

If the things didn't cost so much, I would fly one over your house just to test your accuracy with a gun and to mess with you some.

Tape a mallard head on it and it's money.

I could take up hunting in this case.

Every police officer in America knows there is no such thing as an accidental discharge.

 

You will definitely need to come up with a better plan. :idunno:
