Drone / airspace
Commercial drone work requires FAA Part 107; expect added sensitivity over the historic peninsula
Local rules sit on top of FAA airspace rules. For Part 107 and drone law, see Drone Authority.
Street / public space
Yes: you can photograph what is visible from public space in the US
Private property sets its own rules regardless of city law.
Practical notes
- Filming or photography in a city park requires an additional park permit.
- Special effects must be reviewed by the special events committee and the fire marshal.
Guidance, not legal advice
Rules change and enforcement varies. Confirm with the issuing authority before you shoot. Drone law depth lives at Drone Authority.
