Context:
The email shown in the video is from a past question I had about new signage in the park. That is the email I am referencing in our conversation. According to the FAA you do not need a Part 107 Professional License to operate recreationally over public property. They also have laws put in place to protect the legality of unmanned aircraft flight when done safely.

All of my actions in this video comply with federal, state and local regulations. I was flying within line of sight, over an area free of people (or anything, for that matter) and at an altitude below 400ft AGL. I also have properly registered this aircraft and am a Part 107 Certificate holder for commercial drone flight and monetization purposes.

I have spent time looking through my city's ordinances and found nothing relevant to this situation, so if a law has been added, they certainly have made it hard to find and failed to successfully make the public aware of the new rule.

I also would like to note that the encounter was friendly and positive, and the purpose of this video is not to shame this representative or my city for potentially making a mistake or enforcing rules that don't exist. I understand his concern (regardless of the legal factors) for the safety of all the occupants of the park, and acknowledge once again that the city may have put an ordinance in place more recently that I am unaware of. I support this gentleman and wish for him to be respected and educated, not torn down.

The comments left are not my own. Say whatever you would like below, morally correct or not. I do not stand behind the slander of this gentleman. Comments with a "heart" from me simply acknowledge that they have been read.
