Look at the picture KashOnly just posted. How is that legal, because the camera is on the ground?

I'd say yes. It's legal because any passerby can easily see from that vantage point, you don't have an expectation of privacy unless your blinds are closed.
Also, in the case in the OP, the drone was videoing a room where patients were being treated and the room couldn't be seen from public property without the drone. With all the medical privacy, HIPAA-type laws, you'd have a greater expectation of privacy.

Yes.
You're in a public street, where you have a legal right to be/ Flying a "drone" right next to the window to video the inside or up over a privacy fence is a different story.
