The U.S. Forest Service Wants to Fine You $1,000 for Taking Pictures in the Forest - Esquire
The above link explains a new law set to take effect in the US November 2014, No more amateur photography will be allowed in American National Parks, Forests, Monuments, Lakeshores, and Wilderness areas. Including cell phone pics and video. Professional photographers will require a 1500 dollar permit and will abide by government guidelines while in these areas. I have checked this on multiple websites and news services so if it is false info then I sincerely apologize. But sadly, it seems to be true. A petition against it can be signed at change dot org.
