I would expect this is so even in CA NA DA ehh
I don't remember saying that only the feds could regulate rc, drones etc. I've stated local municipalities already ban most flying anywhere in the city. The feds are only another layer of government. It would appear they are definitely going to lay down some laws/rules/regulations on top of what we already have. There exists enough cooperation between each layer of government to see the offender get charged it only depends on how far they wish to pursue the issue.
