The above article is more concerning commercial drones.
AMA is not the only CBO. Further, anything the FAA puts out supersedes everything else. Another angle was a discussion on RCGroups about "in transit", that it wasn't actually a violation. As anymodeler says, what does it mean to be "over" someone". It's impossible to prove. Even Remote ID (GPS) is only accurate to within 6'. It is a qualified regulation, no exposed moving parts, meaning props. FAA's interpretation of Remote ID is 124 pages long if anyone wants to dig into it.
