 ADU 0124: If I have been granted full permission and had waivers signed, do you think it's safe to post a 4th of July fireworks video on YouTube? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 374

Today's question comes from Quadguy27. While on vacation recently, he was granted permission to film a 4th of July fireworks display in a small Maryland town. The Mayor and Chief of Police gave him the go ahead, plus he had them sign waivers. He would like to post the footage on YouTube, but is concerned due to all the backlash that can often follow. So his question is will all of that matter if he posts it on YouTube? Or will he still have to potentially deal with people and even the FAA? We appreciate the thorough question, Quadguy27. We go through our thoughts on this, and give some tips to help you out. Great job on the accent too! Thanks for listening. Get your questions answered: http://askdroneu.com/.
