The laws say you have a right to privacy in areas where you can reasonably expect privacy. These include areas like your home, a dressing room, a bathroom stall, a hotel room, etc. But there's no right to privacy in a public location.

No it cannot. It is metaphysically impossible. It can only see what is visible from overhead. It flies at about 8000 feet up. It cannot see through roofs, walls or anything not visible from the air. It does not come down and hover outside and peer through windows.

I'm confused, in the World/A&NZ forum you alluded you were in Australia, what power does fedgov have there?

Depends. Like I said, the test is not location specific - it's if a person has a subjective expectation of privacy, and that expectation is recognized by the public.

The predator drone can't hover. I'm pretty sure the military doesn't know better than the laws of physics.
