The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is warning the\ngeneral public that it is illegal to operate a drone with a dangerous weapon\nattached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ve probably all seen online photos and videos of drones\nwith attached guns, bombs, fireworks, flamethrowers, and other dangerous items.\nThe FAA says not to consider attaching any items such as these to a drone\nbecause operating a drone with such an item may result in significant harm to a\nperson and to your bank account. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Operating a drone that has a dangerous weapon attached to it\nis a violation of Section 363 of the 2018 FAA Reauthorization Act enacted Oct.\n5, 2018. Operators are subject to civil penalties up to $25,000 for each\nviolation, unless the operator has received specific authorization from the\nAdministrator of the FAA to conduct the operation. \u201cDangerous Weapon\u201d means any\nitem that is used for, or is readily capable of, causing death or serious\nbodily injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Operators should keep in mind that federal regulations and\nstatutes that generally govern drone operations still apply. Some state and\nfederal criminal laws regarding weapons and hazardous materials may also apply\nto drone operators or manufacturers involved in certain operations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
