Australian man faces $9,000 fine for using his drone to pick up a sausage from a hardware store
An extremely-chill Australian man is facing a big-time fine after he sent his drone to pick up a sausage. Bunnings Warehouse is an institution, like an Aussie version of Home Depot, but it routinely has a “sausage sizzle,” which is a beautiful culinary tradition of grilling mystery meat and putting it in a buttered piece of white bread. Don’t knock it until you try it.
Anyway, this dude decided he didn’t want to drive the two miles to pick up the sausage himself, so he sent his drone. Everything worked out and Bunnings employees sent it back to the man who was waiting in his hot tub. Now he could see a big-time bill.
The Civil Aviation Safety Authority says the man, who only wants to be known as “Tim,” violated several drone laws and is facing a $9,000 fine for his stunt. Most expensive sausage ever.
