Florida man faces 10 years in jail for shooting down half-a-million rand drone

A 52-year-old man from Florida in the US could be sentenced to 10 years in prison after shooting down a police drone worth $29,000 (R561,370), Associated Press reports.

Mount Dora resident Wendell Goney downed the drone used by Lake County police while responding to a burglary at an industrial property in July 2021.
 
Subject yourself to authority and you won't be facing jail time. Easy as that.
 
So he's not actually facing jail (prison???) for shooting down a drone?

Knowing that he changed the policy, perhaps a screenshot would have sufficed

Believe it or not a while ago I used to post screens to the Tweets as opposed to the link to the Tweet & some people complained/moaned, no BS.

Damed if you do, damned. I would say another colourful word rather but lets leave it like that.

Anyhow:

Thank you, now I can read all of that and understand what the fuss is about. Thanks man
 
R500 000 for a drone? Do they have a ANC member there working for the Lake County police?

Yeah right...He was busy sticking his nose into sketchy business most probably.
