only when done on public property such as a public park.
If you did that here in Hawaii the locals would scream as they use
drones to find fish and catch them.
but you city folk would not know that.

Butt seriously....
Would it be illegal to drone over these gals on the beach here in Hawaiʻi? After all, it is a public beach.

California:  RC planes, drones and even kites are now illegal to use in public.

Also California:  Shoplifting up to $950 in merchandise is no longer unlawful.
