I was flying my drone in bodie state park, when a park ranger came up to me and said I couldn’t fly. I sent the California park service an email inquiring -
“Hello! I was flying a drone in bodie state park. I was in the air for about half of my flight time, and landed and was planning on going to my car and getting a couple things and going out to fly again. I was then told by a female park ranger that I could not fly my drone. I asked “I thought that was national parks?” She replied and said “no,” that in state parks you cannot fly drones. I have looked at your website and it says that you are aloud to fly them. It says that unless there is a posted order by the district superintendent you are aloud. I was certain at the time but I did not talk back because I did not want to get a ticket in the slim chance I was wrong. I then got home and googled the law and according to the link - Unmanned Aircraft System (Drones) in State Parks . You are aloud. I think the woman’s name was katlyn. I am just asking that you educate your park rangers more about the drone laws, and where you can and cannot fly.”
I am very confused by the altercation and if anybody has any advice I would appreciate it.
