If FAA claims a drone is an aircraft, then drones should have the same protection but as we seen by Judges recently, Judges view drones and planes differently.Nope. Do you think the penalty should be the same?
Now here you are taking things for granted. Why do you automatically think 1 would be murder and the other isnt? Dont think shooting down a drone could cause murder? Was that not the thought that caused FAA to react????That is, we should treat some minor property damage and murder as the same.
Lets use the same thought process as some on here use. What happens when you shoot down a drone and it goes through............. "a windshield"??? (Im making quotation marks with my fingers)
My problem is "We the People" didnt have any representation on what the rules the FAA is expected to "FORCE" because of a couple pissed of Congressmen who still circumvented the people. Im sorry but I dont feel the AMA was any representation of the people. FAAs "rules" was only a knee jerk reaction to silence the media. Want drone laws? then vote them in through Congress.We can treat them differently but still allow FAA authority over drones. To be honest, I almost would rather have the FAA in charge.
If not, it would probably be up to local municipalities to make the governing laws. We'd then have thousands of crap laws instead of just one that is half crap.
