Georgia man pleads guilty in plot to use drone to drop marijuana in prison

Eric Lee Brown was not charged with actually dropping drugs into the prison, but admitted that he intended to use the drone to do so, prosecutors said.

A Georgia man pleaded guilty on Thursday to using a drone to try and drop a bag of marijuana into a prison, federal prosecutors said.

It's being called the first known criminal prosecution of a case under a drone registration law.
==============================================
They got him on conspiracy to use an unregistered drone to drop a bag of pot inside prison walls. That's right, you have to register these things you get from Amazon & Walmart & in the fine print is a hooker about illegal uses, like using it to deliver controlled substances like pot.
 
Not sure if true, but last year I was talking to a warden. She said that drones will not work over a prison (I am sure there would be a range limit) as the prison uses jammers for just that potential.

(Note female warden at a female prison in Sask. Canada)

I think there are several very different drone remote control system protocols. Jamming all of them at every jail & prison would be very difficult & very costly.

There are a number of techniques for delivering packages from aircraft that do not require it to overfly the destination. One is toss-up or pop-up bombing (see Toss bombing - Wikipedia).
