Border state officials put cartels on notice as they await green light to take major action

An Arizona state bill would allow local and state authorities to shoot down drones used by drug cartels. House Bill 2733, sponsored by Republican state Rep. David Marshall, would provide qualified immunity to authorities for injuries that may be caused by taking out an "unmanned" drone within 30 miles of the southern border. Cartels regularly use drones as a tool to monitor law enforcement activity around the border in hopes of evading them in their own smuggling operations, even using the technology to send their drugs into the country. Although the situation at the border is calming down, there are still plenty of issues to tackle when it comes to crime, according to one sheriff. A drone reportedly flew into a crowd of Boston Celtics fans Tuesday night at an outdoor party.
