Re: Judge refused to view drone video or drone telemetry

"the judge refused to see the drone video or view the telemetry data both proving that the drone was above 200 feet" -- guyelec

If a shooter on the ground hit it with a shotgun round, it was almost certainly below 200 feet. Telemetry data and video, on the other hand, has no provenance - it could easily be from an earlier, higher altitude flypast or even a different drone.

[Edit: the original case report quotes the judge as saying that at least two witnesses report the drone flying below the tree line]
