Mexico don't have the same powerful FAA. They have rules about it but who respect any rules in Mexico? Lol

He seemed to be getting into their space just a bit. I agree it was funny.

I don't think it's legit. just editing from bad flying to appear as such. the clip doesn't make sense, why would they shoot the drone? ..when the drone pilot is standing right in front of them?.....just shoot the frikin drone pilot! .....bigger target and the drone will land by itself. OR....OR... tell the pilot who is standing right by you...to land the Drone ......that makes sense....but maybe not in Mexico. the drone wiggle from the gunshot was funny. BTW when bullets go very close or past you they make a distinct sharp tszip sound.

In South Africa, the cops are more understanding. they will simply tell you to land your drone........then sell it back to you half price.

Not to mention that bullets shot UP do come DOWN...somewhere. There is a tradition in some parts of Mexico of shooting guns into the air to celebrate or just to show off. Bullets fired like this have even been known to fill and injure others when they fall.
