Was the drone there before the accident and could a drone distract a driver and cause an accident?

Is this radically different than a news chopper?

It seems to me that the law needs refinement.
I can see a valid police concern that a drone and live broadcast could influence a live shooter situation. But what about a on-site reporter and live broadcast? Is that illegal?
Seems to me that the law shouldn't limit the drone. Journalistic access to a crime scene or active law enforcement actions shouldn't ever be prohibited. Live broadcasts of such actions sometimes should be.

I guess the government may look over my fence, but I cannot.
There are rules about using video of police and citizens, but as long as the user was not violating those, or local FAA restrictions, it should be fair game.

“...Do we allow more of an intrusion into more traditional private moments like a tragic car accident?...”
Well, I guess they better start arresting “rubber-neckers” at crash scenes.

Once we are sold on Drones for security, they will be armed and some twitchy gamer
dweeb will be at the controls. We are heading into dangerous territory.
