Shouldn't have admitted shit to that cop. If they came asking questions about this, tell them to talk to your lawyer and go away.

I'm certain a decent public defender could turn this around, but if you admit to everything on bodycam, you're screwed. It sucks that we have to live like this, afraid to defend our own property and privacy because we'll be fucking thrown into prison.

This cop says he's in "a lot" of trouble. I don't understand why- this should be treated like peeping, and I think you're pretty well within your rights to shoot someone in the face if they're standing in your yard, staring through your window.

The way the law should work, to protect self-defenders, is that the next action that a criminal will take will lead to the WORST POSSIBLE OUTCOME. But it's like the courts expect you to read a criminal's mind, and that you MUST TRUST THE CRIMINAL not to hurt you or use what they've stolen from you against you somehow. Fuck that. If someone kicks my door in, why can't I assume they mean to kill me and steal everything in the building?

What a stupid White old man. NEVER talk to police. Just say you do not wish to partake in an investigation and to get off your property but firstly stay inside your home and DO NOT answer the door.

9mm is a silly choice. His crime is not using the [right tool for the right job.](https://files.catbox.moe/lwzk4e.webp)

For anyone who needs a refresher or don't know why the old guy tripped on his dick, here's Professor James Duane's "Don't Talk to the Police" explaining it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-7o9xYp7eE

"I can't breathe. I can't breathe. I can't breathe." Even the cops are laughing because everyone knows this is such bullshit.

Rights can be forfeited by responding as if they did not exist. IOW you've got to assert them if they are relevant.

I DO NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS. THAT'S THE END OF THE CONVERSATION

You typically cannot discharge a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling, and for good reason.

It has been consistently ruled that you do not own the air space above your property.

It has also been consistently ruled that anything in the public view can be photographed.

That said, if your back yard is fenced off and your neighbor points a camera from a elevated position at it, that is an invasion of privacy I believe. <<< it gets fuzzy here, obviously you can look into their yard but recording it is not okay.

I also don't disagree with the guy, the drone was being menacing and no one likes that. Just because it's legal doesn't mean it's right and whatever kid that was operating it maliciously needs a good ass beating.

Castle Doctrine only applies if you have a threat of violence. Drone in yard...not so much.

Also, don't be a retard and firew a weapon in a residential area over dumb shit.

Drone operator. Don't agree with the law but know a little bit about it. Also the operator probably deserved to get his craft blasted. Shits not funny, or cool, or ok. If grandpa can hit your angry bumblebeee with a nine you're too damn close.

Basic version is: drones are considered aircraft federally. That's not exactly wrong. Being an unmanned aircraft doesn't make whole lot of difference, legally.

So with that established. Pops shot (what is legally speaking) a plane out of the sky because it flew over his house. Once again not agreeing just conveying.

Now that we've established what he actually did illegal, we can move to what he did wrong.

Dumbass act the first: using a 9mm on a small UAS (unmanned aerial system). Birdshot is much more effective for the target at hand (not advocating this action, just stating facts.) A 9mm can be lethal to someone innocent downrange even if you hit your intended target. Firing such at an upward angle in a populated area is and really should be illegal. Shits stupid. #8 Birdshot still carries some risk to soft tissue like eyes but generally wont penetrate skin when falling. I know this personally as I've been rained on by such before. It stings but its much more like a red ryder bb gun but softer.

The real 12 IQ, boot licker move: Not using the fact that many men much better than him have literally died so that he can shut the fuck up (or better: not open the door) when he police come to ask questions. This part I do 100% whole heartedly condone: Never EVER for any reason talk to a guy whose job is to find someone with which to charge with a crime, arrest, and imprison. There is absolutely no way him speaking to them would help him because even if what he said totally exonerated him it legally cannot be used for his defense. This was not dignity and honor. This was clueless and reckless with total disregard for the safety of others or the ruthlessness of the state.

If he had shut the fuck up and some how him firing on the UAS had not been witnessed ie when it wasn't pointing at him, there might have been plausible deniability. But a detailed video confession? Dude better hope Jamal is gentle and lets him hold his pocket in the pen.

tldr: Shooting a (legally speaking) plane out of the sky with a nine and then instantly confessing to it on video will get you hemmed up. Don't be dumb.

Never admit anything to the police ever

shoot the zog bots then, retards

He did the nigger Floyd "I can't breeve" line!
That's fuckin' rock solid comedy right there.
Old man put himself in a world of hurt by admitting to the crime, but he kept it mighty white and made me laugh so boomer wins in my book no matter what charges they throw at him

Stupid old man thought the zogbots were his friends.

Next time if you're going to shoot something, shoot a nigger, faggot, or kike. Or just shoot a niggerfaggotkike.

fuckin dumbass

oy vey we got a goyim who fights back betta add some felony federal charges oy vey

Most cities and suburbs prohibit the use of firearms within their territory. Shooting straight up is probably another charge like reckless discharge of a firearm too, since that bullet will be coming down in a random location within that city or suburb. Prohibiting shooting at airborne objects like airplanes and drones is common too.

The Grandpa could have declined to have a conversation where he incriminated himself without actually lying.

This is an interesting variation of a common fear of cameras in public, as seen with 1st amendment auditors.

He didnt hit it, so 9mm rounds can go flying and kill people in the distance. You don't shoot at what you can't hit.

I would have gave the guy a warning and made him pay for the drone.

But, ya know, jews.

Most likely,a local ordinance prohibiting the "discharge" of a firearm in city limits??

I'm all for what he did, however shooting straight up is a big no no.

No he did not carry himself with dignity or honor. The ignorant jackass thought he owned the airspace over his house, and no he doesn't. He then demonstrated said ignorance of that and his right to STFU by talking to Officer Schmedly there.

What was illegal is shooting at a drone.
https://www.justice.gov/archives/jm/criminal-resource-manual-2-aircraft-sabotage-18-usc-32
There's the law that says you can't shoot aircraft, and yes drones are registered as aircraft.

Boomers are stupid as a rule.
Dumb fuck gives a full confession, tries repeatedly to wave his rights, makes jokes that the prosecution could try to turn into an issue of mindset, the whole time oblivious to the gravity of the situation he put himself in.
This isn't fucking Mayberry, this is the dystopian hellscape their stupidity created in it's place.
Never talk to the police.
Never offer information.
Never offer clarification.
Never rebutt.
Shut the fuck up.
Embrace the theater of rights you still believe you possess.
And...
Never fucking talk to police.

He doesn't own the airspace, he discharged a firearm, and you can go shooting shit out of the sky.

He will end up buying Walmart a new drone or likely take the charge as a felony.

LOL, the dumbshit is facing a few charges just at the state level.
