Who has the authority to tell you that you can't fly a drone in an area?

[QUOTE="pmshop, post: 76451, member: 3174"] Privacy laws all vary from state to state. Only thing on the books in Texas is if the land owner doesn't like it, you delete the vids/ pics and no harm no foul. Do it again though after that and you can be charged. In Las Vegas, NV...250ft minimum altitude except for takeoff and landing to comply with their privacy law. You are flying as a hobbyist, yes? If you are then you are under Part 101E (formerly section 336) I'm out in the country so the local municipal airport gets a phone call/ text message from me to let them know I'm going up within 3 miles of the airport - that is all the manager wants to know...not 4 or 5 miles out. But in Vegas, class B "busy" airspace around McCarran, FAA requires you to have a Part 107 commercial license within the 6NM ring (10NM out to the north east). And remember, when notifying those smaller airports, you are just notifying them of the flight. You are not asking permission. If you run into an issue like that, like one of the other members I helped here...just recite the following: "I am flying as a Part 101E hobbyist (you can say formerly Section 336 also) I am just notifying you of the flight."
