"Our law enforcement rangers remain efficient, effective and vigilant 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. These convictions demonstrate the professionalism and dedication of Yosemite's protection team in upholding federal regulations and ensuring the safety of both visitors and first responders.""
"Rangers say the men pleaded guilty with punishments including fines, probation, community service and a couple of days in jail for some. BASE jumping has been illegal at Yosemite since the mid-1980s and is not allowed in all national parks due to policies against airborne activities, along with posing major safety risks. The park is now investigating three more incidents from this year."
