It has not yet been established that any drones were actually involved in the explosion. Firemen on the scene believed the explosion was a propane tank explosion in a nearby apartment. The only drones present were there for security, and under control of the security forces, not some assassins.
What about the footage of the drone that exploded?It has not yet been established that any drones were actually involved in the explosion.

Here's the law.
This was posted on the forum earlier in the thread covering the event, dont recall who posted it (still had it open in my browser).
Thanks for sharing the link. With all due respect, that footage is spliced together from various different sources, to illustrate what they believed happened. It is not authentic footage from any reliable source at the scene. There is no continuous footage that shows a drone causing an explosion targeted at anyone. Yes, an explosion took place. Yes, there were drones in the sky, as the security forces are known to have used drones themselves for crowd surveillance. However, nothing concete has established that the drones were attacking. Every other headline since refers to it as an alleged drone attack, since it still has not been established that it was, in fact, a drone attack. To me, so far, this is as reliable as the 500+ airline pilot drone sighting reports compiled by the FAA, that the FAA itself has finally admitted are mostly bogus.
You said “got a link” I shared. Make of it what you will. Time will tell. I agree it could be nothing more than skilful editing.
Indeed. I wasn't meaning to fault you at all. I believe I read yesterday that the news source of that video has now admitted the drone footage was taken from other sources, and they "did not intend to mislead" and should have been more clear about using footage from other drone sources for illustration purposes. Unfortunately, the worldwide drone hysteria is so great that it appears, from all available information to date, the Venezuelan government is exploiting this likely accidental explosion for political purposes, to justify their crackdown on their political opponents, while blaming it on attacking drones, piloted by the opposition! They are also blaming it on DJI M600 drones!
Agree - I had a long conversation with the ACoE online. As long as you don't take off on their property, you certainly can fly over it. They have entire lakes listed as NFZ. You must call 30 days in advance, pay a fee and then are allowed to take off and land on ACoE property. They DO NOT have the jurisdiction to control the airspace itself.
Technically speaking there *are* differing degrees of breaking laws and that’s why there are varying degrees of penalties for most laws depending on those degrees. Violations aren’t the same A misdemeanors which aren’t the same as B misdemeanors which aren’t the same as an A felony.
This scenario is not unlike someone recieving a penalty notice in the mail for flicking a cigarette but out a vehicle window and moaming and groaning and trying to work out who saw them and reported it. I have just been through that with a mate, he has been grizzling about it for three weeks to the point the blokes at the pub have banned it as a topic of conversation.
No. It’s more like someone saw him smoking in a designated smoking area and complained to a cop. Nothing he could do about him smoking in that spot. But I bet he’s flicked a butt out his window at some point. Lemme go see if I can find anyone that saw him do it. I’ll start with his carpool buddies.
Amongst the car pool buddies the prime candidate would be the one who thought they deserved the promotion to his position or the one who has a less flashy car.
"You dont just break the law a little bit. You break it or you dont". are your words.
I think the point is there are degrees to an offence. An example might be assault, could be common, occasioning bodily harm, with a weapon, intent to murder, etc....
