Hardly any do anymore so no back of the ticket to read. but there is also the fine print on the signs as you enter. I think its the same for most amusement parks. you agree that any photos are theirs. Disney goes a step further by painting copyrighted images on everything in the park!
Nah, people thought I worked there, even while wearing regular clothes, including some employees.
Not sure what is "controlled property" but you probably mean private property and yes, it is true if you are on private property then the property owners can certain trespass you when it comes to taking off and landing drone and even standing on his property to operate a drone; pretty much anything. He cannot prevent you from flying a drone but trespassing is an option. Ask the flyer to land the drone and leave or post signs that say no drones. Is the state fair private property? I doubt it.
I know what you mean but it's more accurate to say private property is open to the public (or not). Walmart is private property but it's open to the pubic. But it's still private property so they can ask you to leave. However, public property is just that, it's public (which means it is open to the public). Public property,, which is open to the public, is governed by time, place, and manner. As long as the public property is not a restricted area (meaning employees only, areas with confidential information, locked doors, areas the public is not allowed to go, etc) then it is "public access" and while you cannot do whatever you want to do, in most states you cannot be trespassed unless you are breaking the law. when the doors open at 8am, you (the public) arrive and you don't have to leave until they close, 5pm for example. You cannot build a fire or repair your car or pitch a tent or ride a horse or carry on a protest (unless it's a traditional public forum like the sidewalk or the steps of city hall) but you can do pretty much anything that is legal, time/place/manner. Flying a drone? Unless there is a law that says no flying a drone from public property then you can do it. My city doesn't have a law that says no flying a drone from public property. So I can fly in the city park, the corner of 5th and main, at the city fairgrounds, in the parking lot of the police station, city hall front law (not in the atrium indoors)....you get the point; public property in the city limits. And they can't post a sign saying no drones because there is no city ordinance to back that up. check your state laws, some state are more free than others.
Area 51 is restricted just like any other military base. This is the legal term we need to use because if we start calling it controlled or uncontrolled, that has no legal definition for that we can apply to the public. Government employees will claim they control all government property which they do. Restriction usually has a legal definition such as posting an affirmative sign, a good reason to keep out, consistent with the Constitution, little to no flexibility on that restriction (i.e. you cannot restrict it to some members of the public but not to others and I guess you know what that is all about).
Looking it up on a map, that restriction doesn't cover Long Beach too?
The Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary stops just north of Copalis Beach. The following is a snapshot of the FAA Seattle Sectional Chart. The solid blue line with the blue dots inside show the outline of the marine sanctuary. Long Beach is well south of the sanctuary.
