When Higgins and TC begin shooting at the drone, they were breaking federal law in that one is not allowed to shoot at aircraft, which a drone is considered. This is 18 U.S.C. § 32. However, considering all the other laws Higgins and Magnum break, such as breaking and entering, trespass, speeding, impersonating a law enforcement officer, and more, it is not surprising that they would break a federal law on aircraft. However, one would think that TC would be a bit more sensitive to it, considering that he is flying for a living.
