Idunno man, public is public. If you do it in public, you can be recorded doing it in public. that drone in that video is getting some nice areial video of the coastline and peir. The jerk is the guy who thinks its all about him, and brings violence on somebodys $4k Inspire.
smartphone video is an order of magnitude more privacy invasive. its much closer, much more discreet and harder to spot and everyone has one. drone cameras are super wide angle, and actually invading your privacy in any quantifiable way from 100 feet in the air just isnt happening.

Or what if it was flying over your property? I can see why these things get shot down
you could make the argument that your backyard is private. but even so, if something news worthy was happening in your backyard, you would have a news helicopter with its $500k broadcast gimble zooming in on the pimples on your face.
btw, if you shoot down a drone, you are deeep deeeep deeep shit with the law. in the eyes of the FAA its no different from shooting down a real aircraft.
