Welcome to your weekly news update, we have 3 stories for you this week, Drone pilot loses control of drone over stadium, an update on the man who shot down the police M300, and DJI releases new L2 LIDAR

The first story this week is a drone that flew over a college football game, resulting in players evacuating the field.\\nThis occurred in Columbus, Ohio when Rigoberto Canaca Escoto flew a drone he purchased the day before at best buy over the stadium.\\nUpon returning to Escoto, Columbus counter terrorism police were able to track the drone back to the pilot. \\nEscoto admits he had no knowledge of basic UAS safety, hadn\\u2019t take TRUST, and that he lost both control of the aircraft for about 3 minutes while over the stadium and line of sight. \\nEscoto has been charged in Franklin County, OH with: \\nUnsafe operation of aircraft in a careless or reckless manner, \\nTwo counts of aircraft operation without a license,\\nInducing panic by committing an offense with reckless disregard,\\nAnd disorderly conduct in a physically offensive condition.\\nYikes.\\n\\nNext up is an update on a story we talked about nearly two years ago. \\nIf you\\u2019re unfamiliar with this story, a man in Florida named Wendell Goney shot down a Lake County Sheriff\\u2019s M300 drone in 2021.\\nAccording to the man, the drone was \\u201cHarassing him\\u201d, however Lake County Sheriff was investigating reports of a burglary at a nearby 10 acre wear house.\\nThe man is a 29 time convicted felon, who now faces 10 years in prison for possession of a firearm and ammunition. \\nSo don\\u2019t be either of these guys, don\\u2019t shoot drones down and don\\u2019t fly over stadiums in TFRs.\\n\\nFinal story this week is the Zenmuse L2 LIDAR from DJI!\\nThe new L2 is compatible with both the Matrice 300 and the Matrice 350. \\nWhen compared to the L1, the L2 increases detection range by 30% with a reduced spot size of 4x12 cm at 100m. \\nThe L2 has a maximum point cloud rate of 240,000 points per second and a 20MP 4/3 CMOS with a mechanical shutter. \\nThe L2 isn\\u2019t as expensive as other LIDAR units, coming in at \\u201conly\\u201d $13,560 according to DJI\\u2019s website for the basic combo. \\nPretty cool device, and maybe we\\u2019ll get our hands on one eventually!\\n\\nHave a great weekend, and we\\u2019ll see you next week! \\n\\nhttps://dronexl.co/2023/10/11/felon-shoots-down-sheriff-drone/\\n\\nhttps://www.nbc4i.com/news/local-news/ohio-state-university/pilot-arrested-after-losing-control-of-drone-over-ohio-stadium-during-buckeyes-game-records-say/\\n\\nhttps://dronexl.co/2023/10/10/dji-zenmuse-l2/
