Florida could soon let homeowners shoot down drones over their property

SMRTR summary

Florida is considering a bill that would allow homeowners to use "reasonable force" against drones flying under 500 feet over their property. The proposed law aims to protect privacy but may conflict with federal regulations that prohibit shooting down aircraft, including drones. Critics warn against using firearms, as it could result in severe legal consequences. The bill has progressed through committees and awaits a full senate vote, potentially taking effect in October if passed.
