2. This is not hard for police to run down if they are worried. Drones are commanded by radio signals.

Direction finding for point source radio emissions is very straightforward and they can't be too far from where the drones are. Yes, they could be in a building or back of a van but if they are breaking the law (which I am not quite sure most of these are doing) focused enforcement action should be able to get after this easily. There was just a news article yesterday of a drone in the vicinity of an airport in NY and the police had the tech to detect and direction find the controller frequency and found three men running it. Two were captured and one got away but this is not something that takes the Feds or the military if local law enforcement is trained and equipped. And they did not appear to be foreign nationals.
