      I know you’re being facetious, but for anyone thinking seriously about this, shooting down aircraft, which drones are categorized as, is a Federal offense. Same with shining a laser at it, trying to jam its communications, or spoofing GPS to throw off its navigation.

      And if the cops are the ones operating the drone, they’ll probably be highly incentivized to arrest and prosecute you.

          If a police aircraft gets shot down, they’re just going to arrest everyone they can find nearby and work it out from there.

          That’s what they do when a police helicopter gets hit with a laser pointer, I would assume it would be the same in this case.
