It is generally not legal to fly a drone over a populated area due to safety and privacy concerns. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has established regulations regarding the operating of drones, including those with powerful cameras. According to the FAA, flyers must always maintain visual line of sight with their drone, stay away from other aircrafts and people, and only operate in areas that are within sight. In addition, flyers must also obtain permission from local authorities prior to flying the drone in most cases. As such, it's important for drone operators to be aware of the rules and regulations put in place by their local jurisdiction before taking flight.

Yes, it is legal to fly your drone over a populated area as long as you follow a few important regulations. Firstly, drones must always be flown within the legal limits imposed by the Civil Aviation Authority and adhere to local laws. Additionally, drones must always be flown at least five miles away from airports and other restricted zones, and the operator must keep the drone within their line of sight at all times. You should also ensure that you have permission from any property owners or persons before conducting any aerial filming or photography.
