I've read/seen video of unfortunate interactions with police regarding drones. Usually a one-sided account so the whole story is sometimes hard to get (there's a good example of this in the "Do not fly in Key West" thread). I had a good one yesterday.
I went to our local cop shop and was trying to find out if our city had any specific drone ordinances or other information. Got a chance to talk to our chief of police no less. His view was concise, "As long as you're following the FAA rules and not being a vouyeur, have fun."
Hard to see a problem with that view on things. My guess, if I started part 107 operations I'd be in good shape sending a note to our police dispatch a couple hours prior and they'd be thrilled to leave me alone. Not saying it's always going to work but a little two-way conversation before things happen might keep things from happening.
