I dont know this for sure but i suspect the reason some of these cities or requiring AMA
is because some clubs made a pitch about the AMA to them.
I do think if someone was to cahallenge them in court they would have to back down
as long as that person could show they had liabilty coverage in force.
but on the other hand its really not worth hassel and expense just to fly a model to
go to court its easier to pay the 58.00 and go fly.
You can't be coerced or forced into joining an organization to use public property. Demanding excessive liability insurance with out showing good cause for individual use of a public facility then offering a less expensive "alternative" is coercion. Note I said "individual use".
Challenge the elected officials that control the property first.
