It's a pretty good article and clearly describes how a person can have a reasonable expectation of privacy and be protected from unwarranted surveillance.
Flying Witnesses: Admissibility of Drone-Gathered Evidence in Florida said:
The amended statute also bans a “person, a state agency, or a political subdivision” from using a drone “to record an image of privately owned real property or of the owner, tenant, occupant, invitee, or licensee of such property with the intent to conduct surveillance on the individual or property captured in the image in violation of such person’s reasonable expectation of privacy without his or her written consent.” The statute also provides a presumption of a reasonable expectation of privacy when a person is “on his or her privately owned real property if he or she is not observable by persons located at ground level in a place where they have a legal right to be, regardless of whether he or she is observable from the air with the use of a drone.”
