...might have something to do with THIS:

"
Amendment IV

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

United States v. Jones, 565 U. S. ____ (2012),
the Supreme Court ruled that a search for Fourth Amendment purposes also occurs when law enforcement trespasses on a person's property for information gathering purposes, even if that person had no reasonable expectation of privacy.

I would consider a drone peeking my windows as a violation of this.

It never ceases to amaze me how quickly people on a "Liberal" Site are so willing to give away their Constitutional Protections,
AND trust the government NOT to abuse it.

I don't just say "NO",
but "HELL NO!!!

You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.
