So I have a P3S, as well as a mavic, and I like to take them on vacation. I have an apartment on a small island just off the coast of Miami, and I would like to bring my drone the next time I go. The thing is, drones have been causing some privacy issues for the apartment buildings on the island, so the Island decided to "ban" drones. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is US territory, and since they are not a lawmaking body, or government body, they cannot ban drones. Also, the statement that they issued that "bans" drones, doesn't cite any government or legal force giving them the power to do this, it just states that you cant fly a drone there. Can I ignore their "rules", and go flying? My drone is registered with the FAA for recreational use, and I will make sure to stay within the law by calling and notifying nearby airports and such.
I know that even if this is legal, I will likely still be approached by Island Security, and I'm fine standing up for my rights to fly the drone, provided that I am correct about the legality. Even if they call the cops, if I can show them that it is legal, I think it would be worth it to get some cool shots of this location.
The Island is populated with high end hotels and apartment buildings, and is still part of the city of Miami, it doesnt have its own lawmaking system or anything, leading me to believe that this statement doesn't have any bearing legally.
