Police arrest teen who built gun firing drone

Someone is always trying to spoil a fun time.

I don't know if you saw the video but when the gun fires, the recoil kicks the drone back about 3 feet. Getting that second shot in looked very difficult.

ISIS flying bombs into sporting events with drones, is the real fear I have.

Thought it was a really bad idea when I saw the video in the original thread.

I like the way the kid thinks, about making the drone not fighting with cops. I'll bet he has a bright future as an engineer

I fear the charges against him are so serious that he will be lucky to get a job at McDonnells. Another waste of talent.

Maybe McDonnell Douglas. :mrgreen:

Since he is 18 years old, he may be able to get his record sealed.

Interesting the arrest and warrant wasn't related to the drone.

It doesn't say what the warrant was for and doesn't say that the warrant had anything to do with the drone.

Isn't that what I said? It did say:

The charges have nothing to do with the drone, but stem from an incident last Sunday and a physical altercation with officers, the Clinton police department said.
So, what's your point?

Unlike the other two people who hanged themselves, this person is out on bail.
