Kentucky Man Arrested For Shooting Down Neighbor’s Drone
Bluegrass Bureau Chief Ken CamBoo says according to published news reports, a father in Louisville has been arrested after shooting down a $1,800 drone that was hovering over his two nubile teenage sunbathing daughters. William H. Merideth, 47, was charged with first-degree criminal mischief and first-degree wanton endangerment. The owner of the drone claims he was only trying to take pictures of a friend’s house when Merideth blasted the drone out of the sky.
“I don’t believe that,” Merideth explained. “I was sure it taking pictures of my daughters’ pretty little titties so the owner the owner of the drone could post them Facebook. No jury in the world would convict me. Any father would’ve done the same thing.”
The CamBoozler says so far, none of the drones currently being flown in Northern Kentucky by members of the NoKY TwatWatchers has yet been shot down. “So far we’ve been lucky,” explained the group’s spokesman Mike Sadouskas. “Some people in Fort Mitchell get really upset when they’re walking around naked in their back yard and look up to see a drone taking pictures of them. But people in Vanilla Hills don’t seem to mind as much. They’re much more exhibitionistic, especially guys who’ve just taken Viagra.”
Sam Servo, owner of Drones ‘R Us in Florence says not everybody who comes into his store to buy a drone is a voyeur or a pervert, but you can usually tell which ones are. “They have this look in their eye,” Servo says, especially the ones who live near the Northern Kentucky Nudist Camp in Florence.”
According to the Academy of Model Aeronautics safety code, unmanned aircraft like drones may not be flown in a careless or reckless manner and have to be launched at least 100 feet downwind of spectators.
The FAA says drones cannot fly over buildings — and that shooting them poses a significant safety hazard. “An unmanned aircraft hit by gunfire could crash, causing damage to persons or property on the ground, or it could collide with other objects in the air,” said FAA spokesman Les Dorr.
