When I first started flying with all the paranoia in the world. I told my neighbors I would be flying at different times and altitudes over the area. I live in suburbia and figured someone would think I was spying on them which I was not. I usually fly from 100 to 400 feet in the area. I told them they can come by see what I am doing and ask questions but I am flying to learn and have fun. I have posted a few pictures on the neighborhood's Facebook page which helps as well.
You also need to remember some states, countries may have different laws. I saw one law that the state of Oregon was considering that you had get permission to fly over private land. Tough to enforce and no doubt will be broken regardless since if I am going from point A to point B, at 100 feet or higher who cares.
The best you can do is communicate and share with some folks and worse case just fly and stay away from buildings. Also, if they threaten to shoot down the aircraft, just say "I recommend you don't do that." and walk away. If they do shoot it down, at least in the US, they will be arrested and probably have to pay for the aircraft and fines.
