So Warriors parade is happening downtown Oakland today 6/15/2017. There are NO TFR's issued for the area. In fact there is a NOTAM for UAS operation in the parade area
However then we have articles like this: Security at the Warriors’ NBA championship parade can detect rogue drones (lets not discuss dedrone for now)
Considering they are 'requesting' AND there is already a NOTAM on file to warn Police and Media helicopters from SFC to 300ft in the area do they REALLY have a legal leg to stand on if someone safely (without flying over the crowds) is flying their sUAS in the area (non commercially)

“We are requesting that no drones are flown in the area of the parade,” said Officer Johnna Watson, who handles media relations for the Oakland Police Department. Watson said the entire parade route and nearby areas are a “no drone zone” during the event. Police and media helicopters are expected to be flying during the parade, and Watson said there’s concern about keeping those aircraft safe.
