I think this is probably alright provided it is not abused. In this case it is currently a mostly level playing field. They can fly over me and I can fly over them. As soon as it is illegal for me to monitor responders with a drone then I will be against this. About the only difference is that I don't have an easy way to combine drones, license plate readers and facial recognition. All I can do is 9 mile range, spotlight and FLIR. Perhaps this will change with time and more drones will be required to have geofencing and some type of police blackout capabilities such as automated temporary flight restrictions around them at which point there will likely be a big underground market for modded drones.
