WI AB629

Law enforcement officers may detect, track, identify, intercept, disable, or destroy drones they reasonably suspect pose an imminent threat to public safety, using methods including jamming, hacking, or physical capture

Officers and their employing agencies are shielded from financial liability for damage to or loss of drones intercepted, disabled, or destroyed under these provisions

Operating a weaponized drone over a correctional institution that poses a threat to public safety becomes a Class H felony (current law imposes only a $5,000 forfeiture for unauthorized drone operation over such facilities)

"Weaponized drone" is defined as a drone equipped with a taser, firearm, flamethrower, chemical, or explosive device
