Michigan HB5326 allows police to intercept, disable, or destroy drones violating federal law or FAA guidelines if they pose a public safety risk.

This provision also ensures that police officers are not liable to the drone owner for damages if they take such actions. The law only takes effect if federal law is amended to allow police officers to intercept, disable, or destroy drones under these conditions.
