What for? The rules that exist now were broken so we should publish some more to be ignored? Just like door locks stop honest people, fences slow down crooks but keep honest coves out and rules that are disregarded do nothing but ensure a penalty for those caught and successfully prosecuted.
......well said there. More rules won't change much, laws/rules are for honest thieves and they are made to be broken!
No one owns the space above their property nor the ground they are on actually, nothing to stop a light a/c from flying over a property at 500' wth a high powered optical enhancing device and taking photos/video. Whilst drones do present a hazard to aviation they are not exclusive, birds (I've hit plenty of birds) lasers, any remote controlled device actually are out there it's all about risk management, those risks can be reduced but never eliminated!
Drones are here, they are part of aviation whether we like it or not, get used to it!
