To keep the local news stations’ helicopters out of the way.......
out of the way of what?
1/4 mile would keep the helicopters out of the way of contaminating the scene.
1 NM eliminates video and aerial photos.
The restriction is surface to 3000ft so helicopters with telephoto cameras would be able to get decent pictures. I suspect they are trying to keep drones out of the area while they investigate the scene. The authority listed is an FBI SAIC.
