That one is easy, the FAA has the final say and can preempt State or local attempts at managing airspace.

But airspace is NOT the issue that was raised in this case, videography and publishing is and the FAA claims no jurisdiction over that.

As for the developer, I get it, but those same developer arguments and been made and LOST by people that don't like drones flying over their private property and filming their private property. Does any maybe in the drone club know the state of the law?
Yes they do and they have published links to the law in one of the three threads. Much of what we have heard so far is going to boil down to interpretation of the definition of surveillance as used in the Florida law. That's up to the courts. There is another letter reported in the online news source that shall not be named which mentions the possibility of some unsafe and illegal practices by some of the drone operators - that activity needs to end.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
