[Romans109]

i wasn't flying looking into Windows i was getting a picture of the construction that as going on of a new add on building but never the less it's against the law unless the hospital hires you to film.

Filming hospital is against the law or drone flying near hospital comes in NFZ?

Never heard of this. I believe all hospitals have heli pads but other than that I don't think there are any federal laws against it. Ask the complainant what law is so you can understand it better.

There is a hospital near me that has a heliport, as a lot of them do. That would be a NFZ.

apparently it violates the h.i.p.a.a. law

that would be true except is that part of the FAA regulations? i.e. according to the FAA are hospitals NFZ's?

There was this story about a year ago:
Local man back in court for flying drone near hospital

Don't know the outcome.

Sound's like common sense to me.
Any invasion of privacy is bound to be an issue.
Hospitals, School's, Business's, Playgrounds, etc....
Fly smart and stay out of trouble.

David Beesmer was acquitted of attempted unlawful surveillance.

You say you "almost" had the cops called on you. How do you know this? Did someone at the hospital see your drone from that far away?

It would be the NFZ of the Heli pad they use for Flight4Life that got him in trouble. Not shooting video or photos of a hospital.

Thanks Zep.
Aquitted, OK, but his wallet was 'relieved'.

No. Not so. It was a privacy issue. Did you review the incident?

 

[captainmilehigh]

FAA requires notification, not permission, to fly near an airport or helipad, including hospital helipads. Was the hospital notified before your observation flight? If it was, and you had a name to put with the notification, you are covered. You would have done all that the FAA requires of drone pilots in this instance.
