Harassing people violates local law, and reports of harassment and such are the only way local law enforcement can respond to drone issues since local law enforcement does not have the jurisdiction to enforce the federal statutes where the FAA regulates drones.
Drone law is crazy. There are lots of unintuitive things about it. It needs an overhaul.
Ok but what classifies as harassment? For me it would be seeing, hearing or feeling intrusive behavior by airborne objects in the airspace directly above my property.
What you describe is common. If you see a drone, you call your police and tell them you feel threatened or harassed. They will deal with it.
FYI all drones are required to broadcast a remote id that is registered to the drone device which is registered to a drone pilot. Your phone can receive that remote id signal, which you can give to law enforcement so they can find the pilot. Not having remote id on a drone is a felony, because once again, drones operate in federally controlled airspace.

if thats how it works, thats ok.
