If those things have enough range, you can just stay indoors, safe from police interference. It would be very difficult to trace unless the cops ran around in triangulation squads. Other ways to do it could be by wireless internet.

Or they just wait until it lands. Either they catch you picking it up or they confiscate it from you; either way the flight becomes unworthwhile.

  If the contraptions are cheap enough, or the footage valuable enough, there'd be no need to recover it.

Latency.

  There are already 802.11 drones with video and cell phones that can act as a wireless hot spot. Combine the two and I don't think latency would be bad enough to prevent you from flying it remotely. I would be more concerned with battery life or dangers of mechanical failure on something large enough to use liquid fuel.
