Let the courts decide the lawful use of drones in the states. Of corse that would be argued for decades through the court system. For example those spectacular car chases. Why endanger the police and public, just have a drone watch the guy, and gather evidence, and arrest him at liesure. Illegal pot growers. I've watched army helicopters fly over suspected areas, and followed by Hun Vees later. Its cheaper considering that they are looking for plants, when bales of it come over the borders.
