Today I was flying in a very rural area ( but still in the Village limits) over a Farmer's field, I had setup and taken off from a flat area in the parkway created by the farmer to enter and exit his field. And no I didn't ask the Farmer for permission to fly over his field, for which I would've been happy to if I knew who owned this property. Very few houses and hardly any people. Now I had been here about an hour and a half when this car drives by, stops and the driver asks if I had permission to fly a "DRONE" here. He said he works for the Village and they had had reports from Farmers of people vandalizing their fields. I explained to him that I was just in the parkway and did't think I needed the farmers permission and to look around I hadn't caused any damage. I'm then told the Village doesn't want "DRONES" on the parkway. I was going to be a
smart *** and say I was flying a Quadcopter not a "DRONE", but figured no matter what I say it was going to be wrong. So I packed up and left. Now if I was flying in a congested city, I could possibly understand the Villages concern but this is an area where there are more fields than there are people and thousands of miles from the White House.
