Conclusion
I know you are willing to buy are drone or already having one, but you should remember there are some rules when flying a drone and areas named No Drone Zones (also can find on maps).
But with the advantages of drones, governments can’t restrict drones too much. My opinion is get know about rules when flying a drone in your local area and if you going another country check their rules.
I hope you got some knowledge about where you cannot fly drones. Thanks for reading Peace.
