Is it legal to shoot a drone in Michigan?
FAA says that shooting drone in Michigan and all over the country is illegal, says FAA.
FAA advises residents to call local law enforcement if the drone is insecurely flying over their property. However, FAA does not regulate drones when it comes to privacy. It depends on the local municipalities.
Only law enforcement agencies can take action against drones, said Ryan Calo, a law professor and robotics law expert at the University of Washington, as drone shooting can be dangerous to people or property.
An unmanned aircraft could crash and damage people or property on the ground or encounter other air. According to Cal, you can also be liable for civil damage.
