So I was in LA and found a spot in Hollywood Hills that had a view and decided to take the drone around the nice homes of the area. There was this one house high up on the hill from where I was, and I took the drone there. Just because it was the only house that stood out of all the other houses in the area.
I took a peak inside the house and I didn't really see anything except maybe someone lying in bed. But it wasn't even super close to the house, it was enough that I could see all 3-5 floors of that house. I flew it away and I could hear the couple yelling about my drone, I am thinking the husband called the cops saying something about a "police drone" or just drone in general. Then the lady yells "that's an invasion of privacy" after they saw me land it.
And this house was pretty far away and it was night, so I couldn't really see anyone. But I bounced since they were unhappy about it just to respect their wishes and plus I don't know how serious the cops are about drones in the LA area. I know Hollywood Hills isn't on the no fly zone, and I assume many drone enthusiasts in LA would pick that spot to fly a drone.
But if they called the cops just because they saw a drone come by their window, will the police bother doing anything? Nobody was injured or close to getting injured. Plus I was next to another house and nobody came out to say anything.
