I bought a drone during the beginning of the pandemic and flew it around my neighborhood for all of about 30 minutes before the cops were at my door.

Also some woman down the street called the cops on a contractor, who was out working on her next door neighbor's home, for taking a nap in his truck during his lunch break because she "didn't know who this strange (read: brown) man was who was hanging around her neighborhood".
