I have a new job that has turned into a pain. It is right next to the police department. It is also in restricted air space. Got authorization to fly. I was to map a city block adjacent to the police department. Site of the new court house. Well you guessed it; PD locked out a significant portion of the area I was to map. Went over to talk to the police and see if they would shut down their transmitter long enough for me to do my job. Showed them my FAA authorization to fly, and the area to be mapped. You talk about bureaucracy, you would think I had asked them for the keys to the city. Not only that the first few officers I talked to had no idea what I was talking about.
Has anyone else dealt with anything like this?
