If you are standing in public space, you can photograph anything that is in plain view, including private property. Drones would violate this principle because they enable you to photograph stuff that is not in plain view. Also, generally speaking, drone flight is restricted in residential areas. While photography is a first amendment protected activity, flying drones is not.

Drone flying is less restricted in residential areas than most places.
