Please go to https://www.faa.gov/news/press_releases/news_story.cfm?newsId=22938, which begins with: "Congress has provided the FAA with exclusive authority to regulate aviation safety, the efficiency of the navigable airspace, and air traffic control, among other things. State and local governments are not permitted to regulate any type of aircraft operations, such as flight paths or altitudes, or the navigable airspace."
I am among many of you that would like to do my drone thing at a local park. To prosecute you for anything, the local government would have to pass an ordinance preventing you from taking off or landing the drone in the park. Then, you only need to take off and land the craft just outside the park! You can still operate the craft while in the park.
Please be diplomatic when discussing this with the local authority because you represent the rest of us!
