Question about legality of drones, if anyone knows.
Yesterday I was at kids swim meet filming their race. I was NOT over the pool. I was over a building next to a pool. The Swim president almost had a heartattack and chewed me out and told me it's not allowed. I looked up USA swim rules - see attached. So if I am OVER a street next to the pool, and filming... am I good? (i.e. not over the venue?).[view_image]
103.13 /M/ DRONES — Operation of a drone, or any other flying apparatus, is prohibited over
the venue (pools, athlete/coach areas, spectator areas and open-ceiling locker rooms) any time
athletes, coaches, officials and/or spectators are present.
Exceptions may be granted with prior written approval by the Program Operations Vice Chair.
Rule seems pretty straightforward. Tell the meet director that you'll be operating a reasonable distance from the event and remind him of the rule. |
