I wouldn’t be surprised if Amazon’s drones are actually more likely than average to be doing a bit of snooping(nothing personal, like that neighbor you dislike; but I assume that they want a mapping service, AP/RF location data, etc. just like Google and Apple and others do, and if you are running all those low altitude flights anyway…); but that local standers-of-their-ground will likely discover that Amazon drones have their telemetry routed to humorless people in Amazon Legal with amazing swiftness if certain failure conditions occur.
Purely as a PR and failure analysis matter, they’d almost certainly have a mechanism in place for handling crashes as efficiently and quietly as possible; and it doesn’t require much extra effort to call the local PD if the crash appears to have been externally inflicted.
