Go try and get help from a forest ranger, and he cites you.....typical. :roll:
It was a park ranger and in this case, he/she was right in issuing a fine. Do we really need drones harassing people/wildlife and leaving little in the national parks?Quote:

People have been harassed in the national parks as well.
Drones (such as the ones in this thread) have also crashed in the national parks and have created litter. This one crashed in one of the hot pools in Yellowstone National Park:

ROFL!!!
Out of curiosity, how much was the fine?
Now that I know where it is I'm going to go get it.
Valid point, maybe pay the fine and get your gear, get it over with.
Otherwise you post coordinates to a drone online and somebody might go snag it. I've been really wanting a GoPro drone or quad copter for some time now but they are expensive. If the fine is only a couple hundred dollars, maybe I can obtain said drone for the price of a park fine ;)
$5000 or 6 months in jail is the published fine, go for it and see if it's true.

It is not illegal to hike off trail there, in fact there are some off-trail routes there betaed in some guidebooks.
Then you just need to find a lost controller.:lol8:
If caught, they would probably charge you with flying a drone. You could protest before the Magistrate that you were retrieving it, but it would require a trip before the Magistrate, which would cost you more than the cost of the ticket. Or the ranger might be reasonable about it - printing out a copy of this discussion and carrying it with you would be a good idea.
The drone is subject to confiscation, as something used to commit a crime.

Thanks for the report. I have forwarded it to Park staff for retrieval.
