Pilots have the right to fly in rural areas about anywhere. Those rules got put in place mostly for crop spraying a few years ago. Pilot needs to stay above any man made structure is more or less the rules, in city areas there is a 400 foot rule, more or less. Planes should stay at 500 feet or higher other than landing/ takeoff.
Hobby airplanes should stay below 400 feet more or less.
Now we come to drones. They are considered aircraft, but they need to follow much of the rules of hobby planes. It is a terrible mush mash right now. The drone technology happened faster than the aviation rules could be written.
But if you shoot down a drone, you will be considered to have shot at a regular airplane, and dealing with ford rail laws on that. I would not want to be in your shoes.
Now, as to the original post, there is lots of rules the past 2 years, every drone over 1/2 a lb in weight the person flying has to be registered with the FAA and follow the rules that are in place, and there are many rules in place. Again if a pilot of a drone is caught disobeying the rules they are dealing with federal laws, so they can be in pretty deep trouble.
You folk need to look into this more, lot of mis information out there.
Currently the Feds are concerned with protection the airspace both big real planes and tiny small drones fly in, so most of their rules have been trying to get that worked out. Also they have many rules about flying over crowds or popular public places like Old Faithful and the like. You are t allowed to fly a drone over a fair or grandstands or the like, crowds and so forth. And flying by an airport is a very serious no no.......
Current drones don't have zoom feature on the camera, so a Google sat picture can be pretty close to as detailed, but of course a drone can angle sideways on stuff. As we move forward the rules on flying over private property likely will change to protect folks a bit more from that side of things.
Now sure there are a lot of 'here hold my beer' drone owners out there, so more needs to be done. But the rules and laws and registration is there, they just are trying to catch up with some more of the details.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
