I think there are laws a lot of places about filming in to neighbors
private spaces. I know here your security cameras can not film the
neighbors private areas. Front door is ok, etc.

That might just be a California thing to slow down the paparazzi


I do not know of the backyard if easily seen is a private place, but i bet
most states have such laws. Like filming in locker rooms or public
toilets.

That is certainly not the way it was explained to us. You have no
expectation of privacy from a person standing in a public place or
their own property. That is why they don't have picture windows facing
the street in a locker room.
I agree the altitude provided by a drone flies in the face of what
people think as a public street but I think that in most places the
law has not caught up with the new reality
I do believe the guiding legislation may come from California or the
NYC area, just because of the celebrity connections and the money they
bring to the table.
DC has already dealt with it around the monuments using existing
federal law and the ADIZ (the FAA exclusion zone)
