Now that you have your drone registered and ready to go, there are some other regulations that you must abide by. Take for example state parks and other public locations such as recreational areas, historical parks, and beaches. It is important for you to research whether or not these locations set forth any restrictions when it comes to drones. It truly depends on which state you are in and what their regulations are. For example, the California Department of Parks and Recreation states that drones are allowed in their state parks, state beaches, and state recreational areas.
However, some locations may have posted orders that prohibit them. Such reasons could include protecting a threatened species or a feeling of a potential threat to cultural or natural recourses. It is always best to be sure and check with your local district about the rules relating to drone-usage in specific areas. The penalty for flying a drone in a restricted zone can vary. Depending on the severity of your invasion, you can get away with a warning, the confiscation of your drone, or a fine between $400 and $2,000.
