Blog entry regarding the incident - http://blog.duf.net/2016/03/12/the-criminalization-of-drone-hobbyists-by-the-national-park-service-shakedown-by-proxy/
I tell the story about how a call from the NPS on Christmas Eve regarding a 90 second YouTube video lead to almost a $1000 citation. Although I had no prior knowledge of the national park drone ban when I flew my drone I do understand why it was enacted after reading up on some of the dangerous/stupid actions a small handful of other drone pilots performed in Yellowstone Park.
What I struggle to understand is why the national park service decided after the fact prosecution via YouTube was a good utilization of taxpayer funds and NPS resources. I also wonder why no subjective/situational judgement seems to be utilized in a incident like this. Finally, I really don't understand why it was necessary to make the initial contact with me on Christmas Eve, something most would realize was unnecessary and inappropriate.
Listen to my story and feel free to add your feedback below. I strongly advocate drone pilots adhere to any regulations/restrictions to flights where applicable.
