I need help finding a certain page of the FAA rules on shooting down drones

[Highflyer]

awhile back I was reading up on the FAA rules and found a page about the laws shooting down drones and laws about people interfering with the drone pilot while operating the drone. the page was about a 1/2 to 3/4 long it explained that it was a federal offense. I found a few articles on it but not the one that had the FAA header on top of the page. Has anyone seen that? if so can someone tell me where to find it? Thanks, The reason I want it I want to print it off and keep it with me while flying just in case I have a drone hater/police approach me. I'm not worried about being harassed since I fly on a 750 Acre farm but we do have a town idiot who drives around town on a john deere lawnmower that harasses people and loves calling 911 he's been arrested a lot for miss using 911 lines lol

Thanks, Jeff

I Googled "federal law shoot aircraft" and it was the top match:

U.S. Code Title 18 Part I Chapter 2 § 32 - Destruction of aircraft or aircraft facilities

The FAA has confirmed this applies to manned and unmanned aircraft.

I found this.

Aircraft Sabotage (18 U.S.C. 32)
It doesn't have the FAA letterhead but it does have the U.S. Department of Justice.
