Man charged for shooting down drone:
Travis Duane Winters, 34, of Butterfield, was charged with criminal damage to property and reckless discharge of a weapon within city limits Monday in Watonwan County District Court.
A sheriff’s deputy was called Friday to a disturbance at Butterfield Foods. A man said he was flying over the food production company to capture images of the chickens that were being “slaughtered” because of the pandemic.
The suspect admitted to using a shotgun to shoot down the drone — which was valued at $1,900.
I have no idea what you're talking about officer. It must have just crashed. Did that nice gentleman have an FAA permit to fly that drone? He could have hurt someone crashing his drone on our property like that.

It says you have a willingness to influence legislation?
Not defending either side, but they are both using the tools at their disposal.. some clandestine, some open, some legal, some not..
One person's lobbying is another person's corruption.. all about degree of influence.. take someone out to lunch? Pay for advertising for re-election? Handing over cash? Different countries/cultures have different rules and expectations..
