    And what happens WHEN people breach this? Cause there will be people who do just that. Is it a law that people are not supposed to fly kites in the mentioned areas? Not that I personally would need a law as it seems like common sense should prevail. I guess what I am trying to ask is, what is the ultimate consequences of the persons who ignore the DOA’s request?
