Pushback from lawmakers and legal experts
During a recent committee hearing, state Sen. Jason Pizzo, a Democrat who represents parts of Broward County, including Hollywood, raised concerns over how citizens might interpret the bill.
“There was mention that ‘reasonable force’ might include shooting it down…But I don’t want anyone under the notion that they can go and just shoot things down from the air, which is actually punishable by up to 20 years in federal prison,” Pizzo said.
Although the bill doesn’t explicitly mention firearms, the lack of boundaries leaves room for interpretation — and possibly dangerous behavior.
