When a Modesto man opened fire on a drone hovering near his home last year, the price was more than some spent birdshot.
After Brett McBay downed the drone, a judge ordered him to pay $850 to the owner of the "hexacopter," according to a story first reported by tech site Ars Technica.
“I have to give credit to the McBay school of marksmanship. Still, I’m pretty bummed that I just built this hexacopter only to have it shot down,” Eric Joe wrote to McBay in an email, according to documents attached to a suit he filed.
