Ah...now I understand why national parks are surrounded by "wilderness areas" where drone flying is prohibited. They want to avoid having people taking off and landing outside the park and legally flying in airspace over the park, so they just extend the no take off zone well beyond the park boundaries making it too far to take off and fly over.
Could you guys elaborate a little more on how local/state regulations are able to fine folks for airspace use when the FAA is the one who regulates it?
Local regulations can limit where you takeoff and land. The FAA regulates airspace. So, local law enforcement cannot fine you for airspace infractions. They can fine you if you takeoff, land, and sometimes if you stand (and operate a drone) from ground that the local agency has a right to regulate. If you takeoff from ground that prohibits drone takeoffs, and you fly over an NFL football game for example (prohibited by FAR Part 107.39 and FAA NOTAM FDC 0/0367), you can be fined by local law enforcement AND by the FAA.
For local laws, state parks, etc. these will vary by state and city. Some cities will have laws that prohibit drones on city property, or have specific areas where you can takeoff and land, or may simply state that you need to follow FAA rules. The best way to find these is to go to the official .gov website for the city and search for Drone or Aircraft in the search box. Some cities may require film permits as well. State parks will also vary by location. Drone takeoff and landing may be allowed if you obtain a permit and pay the fee. These are generally not too expensive. Fines for non-compliance will also vary according to the park. This park (example) has a $600 fine for not obtaining a permit. Again, these are park rules for takeoff and landing, not FAA rules for flight. If you takeoff in a State Park that requires a permit, and you fly over people illegally, then you could be fined by both the Park and the FAA!

Awesome video with the exact info i was wondering about and more.👍👍
Glad it was helpful! Blue skies and safe flying!
Perfectly written, presented & explained. Thank you, Mr. Bouvier. (P.S. I’m a “class of 2020” Drone Pilot Ground School grad).
Thank you so much! And that's awesome - congrats!!

I suppose that expectation of privacy that applies to drones don't apply to planes & helicopters that fly over my home....sounds hokie pokie.
