Border state law enforcement to shoot down 'weaponized' drug-smuggling drones

Raul Gastesi speaks with Fox News Digital about a bill moving through the Florida Senate that would give homeowners the right to use "reasonable force" to take down drones infringing on their privacy rights. A newly-minted law allowing Arizona law enforcement officers to shoot down drug-carrying drones along the U.S.-Mexico border has taken effect after sailing through the state's legislature with bipartisan support. HB 2733 was signed into law on April 18 and grants officers the ability to target drones suspected of carrying out illegal activity within 15 miles of the state's international border. "Cartels are increasingly using drones to survey the border to locate [U.S. Customs and Border Protection] officers' locations and to transport illegal drugs from Mexico into our state," state Rep. David Marshall, the bill's sponsor, said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "Law enforcement tools at [our] disposal will be electronic jamming devices, as well as using shotguns with bird shot to bring down these drones."
