Beieren plans to give its police broader powers to address threats from drones. This decision follows occurrences of drones disrupting activities at Munich Airport. Joachim Herrmann, the Bavarian Minister of the Interior, announced this measure on October 3, 2025.
Police Action Against Drones
Authorities aim to significantly enhance the legal powers of Bavarian police, enabling immediate and effective action against drones. This includes the ability to shoot down drones in cases of acute danger. Herrmann emphasized the need for quick action in response to the disruptions caused by drones at the airport.
Similar measures are under consideration in various jurisdictions, as incidents of drone-related disruptions have increased. The decision by Beieren reflects growing concerns over safety and security in public spaces where drones may pose risks.
Status of Current Measures
The proposal by the Bavarian government still requires proper legislative processes to become effective. As of now, there are no specific timelines announced for when these changes will be implemented. Further discussions are expected to refine the approach to drone-related threats.
