Brazilian "shoot-down" law to take effect Sunday Gretchen E. Moore at 8:44 PM ET Brazil's first "shoot-down" law will take effect Sunday, 90 days after its enactment. The law allows Brazil's air force to shoot down small planes suspected of carrying drugs. Colombia is the only other South American country to have such a statute.
