It *does* open the door to respond and take action about reckless or
nuisance flying however. A neighbor complains about a quad flying
around in his backyard. Cops respond, locates the operator and ask to
see it's registration. No registration? Goodbye quad.

Not exactly, They are registering the operator from what is in the
proposal.
I am also not sure local cops can actually enforce a FAA regulation
(it is not a law the way it is being proposed, just a regulation)

You also will have the problem that if the drone is gone when the cop
gets there, there would be little he could do anyway, even if there
was a local ordinance.

This is far from being solved with anything I have seen so far. We
have not even established that spying from the air is illegal, or
could be made illegal. The operator might be a minor, you probably
have to establish exactly where the drone was flying etc,etc.

I agree the FAA will be aggressive when these things interfere with
regulated air operations but the nuisance operation may end up in
civil court, assuming the operator has anything worth suing for.

At the end of the day the HOA in that kind of community might be the
biggest rock in the bag, assuming the operator doesn't live outside
the fence. My wife's HOA has already acted on this, no drones without
prior permission of the board. There is no "due process" in an HOA. An
allegation is almost as good as a conviction. Owners can be fined and
renters can be kicked out.

Go back and read it again. The UAS (aircraft) gets registered. Of course, the buyer
would be registered also.
