For all you who fantasize about engaging drones
“In a recent court agreement, Winn accepted a pretrial intervention program in exchange for the eventual dismissal of charges. As part of the deal, he agreed to pay $5,000 in restitution to Walmart, complete 25 hours of community service, and stay charge-free for six months. Winn’s attorney emphasized that the restitution was not an admission of guilt but rather an acknowledgment of responsibility for the damage.
Winn’s story serves as a reminder for all: shooting a drone is illegal in the United States. Under federal law, destroying an aircraft, including drones, can lead to fines of up to $250,000 and potential prison time of up to 20 years.“
