If the government said they wanted to put a camera over your house and record everything you did would you be ok with that? Some people might but others would not. Drones are the equivalent of a camera over my house. I don't think the police, or any branch of the government, has the right to monitor me in this fashion. Let them get a warrant if they want pictures of me sunbathing in the nude.
They don't need a drone for that. The government already has satellites that can get a clear picture of your face from up there. The technology already exists, and is in place and in use.
What the drones are doing that is stirring up the pot is that they are visible to the public. They are also cheaper, so more departments can use them.
