No, you cannot fly your drone over people. The exception being surveying construction sites as it is assumed that people on construction sites are already wearing hard hats.

Ironically parks, which would be an ideal place to fly, are often no-fly zones. For example all national parks in America ban drones as do many state parks.

That doesn't stop people, in my experience.

Most parks I've seen people try to fly in near SFBA are no-fly zones because they're too close to airports.

My office is pretty-much on the runway of SJC and the vacant lot next door is a favorite for lunchtime RC enthusiasts.

Google search for "drone national park" and you'll find out why.

"Why did the NPS restrict unmanned aircraft? The National Park Service embraces many activities in national parks because they enhance visitor experiences with the iconic natural, historic and cultural landscapes in our care. However, due to serious concerns about the negative impact that flying unmanned aircraft can have for safety of visitors, staff, and wildlife, they have been restricted in all but a few parks."

I meant that you'll find incidents like the guy "landing" his drone into the hot springs in Yellowstone. A lot more along these lines.
