In the US, all airspace is under FAA jurisdiction (and, additionally, sometimes also "controlled"). Individuals cannot claim ownership of airspace and cannot deny (or allow) permission to fly in within airspace.
Generally, private property owners can only claim nuisance, recklessness, or violation of a state/city law. However, it's trespassing if take off/landing occurs from the property.
There is no law in CA you could be charged with in regards to "invasion of privacy". You have no privacy if you can be seen from the air. Now if you are in your house and some climbs over your walls to look in your windows... yes. But from the air, NO. Just ask any celebrity living in Malibu. Helicopters (and UAVs) can fly over anytime to get photos of the celebrity wedding... Noise complaints maybe. Endangering people maybe. But not privacy.Jopa- he states while taking pictures, which could fall under invasion of privacy.

I know not sure ofFor questions like this contact your local FSDO. Do not take legal advice from an online forum. It's too easy to be a keyboard hero when you have nothing on the line to lose if your advice is wrong.
Mtrider420 welcome to the forum. I can understand where it "seems" like manned helo fly lower than your 300' but unless you're very experienced it's almost impossible to determine an aircraft's altitude with nothing to scale to reference it to.
Also take note that HELO can fly at any level from zero to infinity depending on their operation and status of flight.
Ok thanks gonna look into it I just found out about the fsdo so gonna try them first....don't want to be wrong but I think there wrong at my altitude but like to know before hand...in my mind people cant own air space as long as I'm not flying low over 100 feet there's no pravicy issues but but b I'd like to know for sure...I'll update after I call the fsdoPrivacy laws are local laws not FAA. You'll want to contact a local attorney to get that kind of advice.
