quadcopter pilot fined for losing his quad in national park

"
A US judge has fined a Dutch tourist for crashing a drone into a hot spring in Yellowstone National Park.
Theodorus Van Vliet was ordered to pay more than $3,000 (£1,847) for flying the unmanned aerial vehicle into the Grand Prismatic Spring in August.
Mr Van Vliet pleaded guilty last week to illegally operating the drone, which has yet to be located by authorities."

I don't mind the idea that people should ask for permission first.  But I hope this doesn't mean that drones will NEVER be allowed in parks for any reason.
