This is an interesting topic because if we are talking about ones airspace or private property then I think this might get a little complicated as it has to also fit within peeping-tom laws and FAA laws. If someone is parked on the road and filming me then I can call the cops or go talk to them but I can not force them to leave and it is unlikely the cops would make them leave unless they are posing a threat. Perhaps stalking or harassment? Intimidation? The cops can log their ID. The most I can do is film them with my surveillance cameras and notify my neighbors and local community. Beyond that I would have to decide if stand-your-ground comes into play and that comes with a lot of legal risk.
Likewise if a person is filming me from a drone at least 400 feet AGL and their drone is at least 500 feet away from me then I do not see any laws they are violating. They can use stabilizers, expensive gimbals and optical zoom to "get closer". So if we are adding laws to require a warrant then peeping tom laws would also need to change to prevent recording from outside of ones property, I think. Maybe laws around stalking, harassment and intimidation would have to be amended? Now if they are closer than 500 feet to me that is an FAA violation and below 400 feet AGL over my property that drone is now a clay pigeon.
