In some countries (notably Germany) it is illegal for private citizens to point surveillance cameras at any property they do not own, including public property.
It can also be problematic in the US as peeping tom laws have not really caught up with surveillance cameras and drones yet.
I had a neighbor that was allegedly pointing cameras at his neighbor because he didn't want a black woman in the neighborhood. He was also an officer of the HOA. He was trying to intimidate her with cameras and staring at her all day. She sued and won. The judge ordered him to remove the cameras. I got out of that HOA in a hurry. They've since doubled the fees to compensate for the law suit, so they should have it paid off in 25-30 years.

This includes dummy cameras (in Germany).
