Dr. Cynic, what do you mean by "personal information?" Since you make the comparison to hackers, I would assume but you're referring to stuff like credit card numbers, passwords, etc, but I really don't see how drones could obtain that sort of thing. As far as taking pictures of houses and people in public, I'm not sure that's really an issue. For one thing, you don't really have a right to not be photographed in public (unless it amounts to harassment). Besides, Google Earth/Maps and similar companies already do that via satellite photography. If you live in a densely populated area, chances are it's already possible to get a picture of your neighborhood. It doesn't make sense to prohibit drones specifically because of that issue.
I do think you have a point about public safety. There will doubtless be accidents, glitches, random failures, etc before drones are fully integrated into the economy (not to mention society) so I think cities should be allowed to establish minimum height limits for drones to fly over so as to avoid crashes and the like.
How about this amendment:
This amendment would prevent drones from harassing people and would allow cities to restrict drone flight levels within reason.
Finally, I would like to add that in addition to Dallasfan's arguments, there are a few other potential uses for private drones:
Delivery services (this applies to companies from massive retailers like Amazon to simple restaurants)
Personal/home security (who needs a guard dog when you can have a guard drone?)
Agriculture (monitoring fields and determining which areas require more water, nitrogen, etc)
Aerial surveying and 3D mapping (assessing geological formations, land areas, public and private infrastructure, energy transmission lines, oil/gas pipelines, etc)
Weather/hurricane/tornado tracking (drones can fly at high altitudes and withstand intense weather forces)
Private drone use may seem like a wacky concept right now, but I have to agree with the Governor that commercial drone legalization will be a boon for our Region, assuming we can get the Feds to hear us out.
