    Inspire 2 Shot down tonight

    He told the cops and me that he was sighting his 22 earlier in the day. So he would have GSR on his Hands. I've almost handed them the smoking gun but they still won't do anything about it. I have them surveillance footage that shows he clearly lied to the cops to begin with. But still nothing.

    I'm told that they are "working" on building a case. But it will take months! Now I'm just trying to get DJI Care to cover my repair. Not looking good there. And it wasn't pilot error.

    Here is the article that arstechnica.com did on my drone shooting. Man takes drone out for a sunset flight, drone gets shot down

    Well it's a federal case. The vandalism is about the only thing the DA could prosecute.

    Inspire 2 Shot down tonight

    Well I was using my DJI Refresh, so I guess DJI would be who is involved. The Morgan Sheriff's department was involved to start. Now the FAA has turned it into a federal case. Might still call the DA about the vandalism.

    I've used the kids approach. Also over a church (although they were not in session).

    Inspire 2 Shot down tonight

    Well I work in the media, so I know several people and getting a lot of my friends to do stories on them but that will be one of the points. Why do we have to follow rules if they're not going to enforce the federal penalty to shoot them down.

    Yeah, that's what I thought too! Like he was making it sound as if he was going to work hard for me, but it was up to the FBI. Said I should have contacted that office before a week after. Then I pulled up the email that I sent that office last Monday asking who I needed to speak with about...

    Local Paper did a story on it as well.

    Inspire 2 Shot down tonight

    Spoke with the FAA today and they are Pursuing the case, if the FBI will take the case. The FBI may not do anything because it's been over a week since it happened and harder to prosecute the more time that goes by. So it was promising in some part, but not promising on others.

    Inspire 2 Shot down tonight

    The station I used to work at has already done one story, and one of the local papers (county paper) is doing one. I'm trying to get the other stations to do one and the Knoxville News-Sentinel as well. So far no luck with them. The FAA contacted me via email this morning, which is good. The...

    Inspire 2 Shot down tonight

    Was flying at sunset, dusk. Had my lumi cubes on just to try them out which helps keeping an eye on the drone much easier. Shot with flashlight was when the police finally arrived, it was after dark.

    But where you have shot origin, that would have taken it to a 1,000 ft or more shot. Attached is the last known heading. Weather, etc. Does this information help any?
