Ocean City Municipal Airport officials and the police are working to understand the new regulations that were announced by the FAA last Tuesday, but at the moment, there’s little the city can do in terms of enforcement.
“We cannot give citations or make arrests strictly for unsafe drone use at this time,” Police Public Affairs Specialist Lindsay Richard said. “We are enforcing the FAA safety regulations by reporting the incident to the FAA.”
Before the new rules were revealed — they go into effect in August — drones weighing less than 55 pounds purchased after Dec. 21, 2015 must be registered with the FAA before operating in national air space. Registration costs $5 and drones must be operated by someone older than 13 years old.
