This is not new and it is a problem the 'drone' industry has failed to check. See Judge rules man had right to shoot down drone over his house
There is also considerable uncertainty on who 'owns' the airspace above private property. The Causby case where chickens were panicked by overflights at low level has set 'trespass' or 'taking' as any flight over private property below 83ft. is legally trespass. Drone Wars: Who Owns The Air?
There is a morass of rules, regulations and local legislation that need to be clarified.
