As someone who used to live in a neighborhood that was frequented by "ghetto birds"[1], I have anecdotal evidence to the contrary. I think the main difference between a consumer multicoper and a helicopter is the barrier of entry to purchase one (and become qualified to fly it) and the operating costs

Neither can a drone. That's already illegal. Filming into someone's bedroom is usually a felony.
