YouTuber charged in stunt video showing fireworks launched at Lamborghini from flying helicopter

He could go to jail for 10 years because of this stunt. The Feds do not like it at all when any kind of incendiary device is taken on an aircraft for any reason without prior approval. And without any first responders on site in case something went wrong. The pilot of the helicopter, who turned off the helicoptor’s transponder, has lot his license. And may lose a lot more .

Wayback Machine has the video.

The techbro mantra of “it is better to ask forgiveness than permission” meets the real world with a felony indictment.

He should have just mounted a 50mm machine gun. Shall NOT BE INFRINGED!!! /s

I’m annoyed by this type of prosecution. No one got hurt. There was no attempt to hurt or defraud anyone. FFS, a felony with up to 10 years in prison? WTF???
