State and federal laws, apply to the other 2.
The theme of the drone supporters seems to be, "it's legal per the FAA".
That's a red herring. Yes, flying the drone may be legal, what the drones and operators are doing, might not be.

Bottom line though...it seems to me that the developer doesn't have to win. All he (she?) has to do is not lose, and in the meantime draw things out as long as possible. The developer no doubt has salaried attorneys who do work as it comes up, but the drone guys have to hire theirs. So it all comes down to the cost of this particular "justice" and whose money runs out first.

& you are exactly right. The Developer doesn't have to "win", he only has to "not lose" or win by default, when the opposition gives up or goes broke.
I'm shocked by the general tone of this discussion. In a community that consists primarily of an older, conservative population, I would think that constituency would be more concerned with protecting privacy rights.
I suspect the tone would be entirely different, if the discussion involved their personal space and/or real estate and not the private space/property of the "big bad Developer".
Ethics are often situational.
