[QUOTE="I B Spectre, post: 100176, member: 18605"] As I understand it, the airspace belongs "to the people", aka, administered by the government. In this case, the FAA occupies the entire field of regulation. However, state and local governments can initiate legislation that may prohibit taking off and landing from certain areas (i.e., state parks and forests, managed lands, etc.). I have read of rules that prohibit the capturing of images of people on their property on which they have "a reasonable expectation of privacy". There are prohibitions against flying in restricted airspace, over power plants, prisons and the like. It's all still a work in progress, but those who ignore the existing rules or push the envelope that some may perceive as dangerous or annoying will have repercussions on us all. Just because a local governmental entity passes an ordinance regarding restrictions on drones does not mean it would stand up in court, but I wouldn't want to be the test case. [/QUOTE]
