LI cops can shoot down drones as new high-tech command center unveiled: 'We don't want to wait'

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman stated, 'We don't want to wait until we have some kind of disastrous event to then say, 'Well, we could have done this and we could have done that.'"

Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder emphasized readiness, saying, 'As far as my snipers go, I have 30 of the best, world-renowned snipers in the country that can hit a quarter a mile away.'

The Federal Aviation Administration temporarily banned drone operations over parts of New Jersey, highlighting 'deadly force' can be used to bring them down.

Concerns have risen over drone sightings in New Jersey and New York, with authorities fearing foreign agents could be behind them.
