I’d have thought the police are protected from this being an issue by existing legislation, I.e. if there is a life threatening situation then they can shoot. It’s hard to see how that would apply with a nuisance drone unless the operator was actively trying to bring an aircraft down.
Holding a plane in the air when it has finite fuel tanks could result in it falling out of the sky, so possibly a manslaughter vs murder type distinction.
Yeah me to but that infers firearms officers couldn’t ever shoot on private land. Which seems unlikely to me.
