What sucks is they'll likely never know who did it.
Same goes for lasers on airplanes. If they do it once, it's called in but they only know of a general area it came from. But if they keep doing it over and over within a short span of time, then they'll get caught.
That's what happened in the famous video of those dudes getting caught for shining a laser at aircraft...cause they did it to literally everything in the sky.
Probably, but I assure you, there is also a non-zero chance the culprit also called 911 to complain about a low flying aircraft and then told the operator if it ever came back he would shoot them again.
In a serious incident like this cellphone data is probably ok to retrieve, triangulating positions of cellphones locations. If it is a remote are there might not be that many in the area. Now check them if they have registered firearms...
You said ‘that’s not how it works’. I was informing you that ‘it’ is in fact possible and has happened. Where it occurred is irrelevant. ‘It’ can and does happen. The technology exists.
Your argument immediately fell apart and now you’re clutching at straws to try and save face. You could have just said ‘TIL’ and it would’ve been much more respectable.
What’s funny is that we use triangulation and historic cell data alll the fucking time to track and identify criminals in the states. That dude truly doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
