While I own 2 drones, I can see where a lot of the people are coming from. I build my own from parts. Mine have cameras on them that transmit back to First Person Goggles. I do not always have a recording device attached. If mine crashed in your back yard and you called the police demanding to see the video, that may not always be possible.
My biggest concern was that some people feel they have the right to shoot a drone out of the air. This has already been tested in court and the shooter lost. Now if I felt one was spying on me and mine, I too would shoot it out of the air. If they had video where you could make out my face shooting your drone down, you were too close and I believe would be proof you were spying.

Re: "My Drone Crashed in Your Backyard"
Some of the attitudes are similar to finders keepers which won't stand up in court. He has a legal right to fly his drone. You do not have a legal right to damage his drone or refuse to return it to him. there is a false belief that you own the air above your property. If that were true you could charge the airlines for flying over your house. You could also prevent the police from flying over your marijuana crop without a search warrant.
