Except she didn't use drones at all, and he wasn't really interested anymore.

So, does that now make them perfect suspects?

For me a "perfect suspects" is a hard core hobbyist or someone who does it for a living.

What's the next step after perfecting a hobby or being bored because it's a forced job other than taking it to the next level?

Given the limited info it wasn't just a kid popping a drone over given how hard it seemed to be to catch them so that leaves someone who knows what they are doing.

Who cares about "social death" over prison time? If anything it makes them heroes to many/most people, a good FU to the system.
