To capture quality video with a drone, you really need to spend around $1000. Thats the price point where they are stable, reliable in various wind conditions, and capture decent video quality for 1080P HD playback. Buying one used you could get away with only spending around $500-$750, but less that, well, you get what you pay for?
As with anything, there will always be the few people that do what they want regardless of the laws. Anyone flying a drone responsibility will largely go unnoticed in the air. If they are flying illegally or for unsavory purposes, nail them to the wall and set them on fire
But don?t assume just because they are flying a drone its for spying on people, they are peeping toms, or doing something nefarious. We don?t assume everyone driving a car is doing so drunk, gun owners are all serial killers, etc. Most drone owners are photographers creating beautiful videos for their enjoyment and that of others. Many others are technology hobbyists having fun learning new technologies. Or some just like the act and science of flight.
So yea, if they are hovering 20? over your house, thats one thing. But if they are 50? up and passing by, or circling to capture a panoramic view of the area, whats the harm. Besides, homeowners have no say in the airspace over their homes over the highest tree top. Typically the courts use 82? based on a previous lawsuit court decision. Above that is the FAAs playground.
Also consider that a drone around 50-100? in the air with their wide angle camera lenses, people show up as small dots in the video. They don?t have high power zoom lenses to zoom in on people. Those drones are far more expensive, much larger, and very noticeable.
If we want people to be supportive of our hobbies, we need to be supportive of theirs as well. We need to coexist.
