As much of some of the droneaphiles here say they are responsible, I've had the totally opposite experience with my immediate neighbour's demented kid (in a suburban heighbourhood). Flying his drone around and over his house, within a few meters of our carport and us (always just within their property line), spying on us. Really noisy thing and certainly an invasion of privacy. And there's no talking to the parents, who are some of these new hands off "parents" (and complete aholes to boot).  

Eventually, I think the mother took it away, because she realized I'd call the city and/or RCMP (or kill the drone somehow). There are many irresponsible people out there, and strict rules are needed to keep these people in line.
