They will use drones as an excuse to take away one aspect of private property rights: the right to not have someone hover over your house/yard and watch you.

They will make it a crime to shoot one of the damned things down.

Marching towards totalitarianism.

Just imagining your scenario.

It would be the equivalent of a cop sitting in his car in your driveway.

You know he shouldn’t be doing it, and he knows it.

But both of you also know it will go very badly for you if you complain.

First it was the traffic cameras so they knew when and where we were driving. Then it was google street view showing us so closely that the entire world knows if our Bermuda was going to seed. Next, it is NSA monitoring our every electronic communication. Then they decided it'd be just fine to share our medical records with any and everyone. Then came the no knock warrants and far too many wrong home invasions and family pet killings by the suddenly not so “protect and serve” cops. Now, they've sent drones to spy on us everywhere and devices that can see through walls of innocent citizens in their own bathrooms. I don't see society doing much more than venting on the NSA monitored internet. No, not much upheaval at all. Just sheeple laying down and asking for more.
