The only thing missing is a black robe...

Oh, and that includes doing it from ‘outside’ (for those that think it’s safe to be outside and point a camera into my house).
So go ahead: Pick a house and point a camera...you’ll never know if it’s me or another that agrees with me and you’ll never see it comin’...
I understand how you feel, but if the inside of your house can be seen from the outside then you have voluntarily given up all expectation of privacy for anything that can be seen. The law is pretty well settled on this.
The answer is to get some curtains.
Attacking the photographer in this case (your windows being unprotected) is wrong and illegal.
If you want privacy, plant some bushes or buy some curtains.
Nobody has their curtains pulled 24/7.
My point is that those that see a pulled curtain/open window as an invitation to point a camera is that there is a very good reason to NOT do so.
Glancing in someone’s window while walking by is one thing; ‘peeping’, with or without a camera, invites injury.
Go ahead: Do it to my house. You won’t prove jack, perv.
One more thing: I excoriated a local radio personality for suggesting an open window is an invitation to burglars. Same goes for that concept: Climb in my open window and you’re DEAD.
Both of those would serve as solid deterrents to pervs & burglars, but a$$hats like you would suggest my open curtain for my plants is an invitation to a peep.
Pound sand or find me and point a camera...please.
There are real consequences to anti-social behavior such as the OP topic. Activist judges are just another extension of the progressive problem. Put this case in front of a Jury and this is a non-issue.
It’s no different than armed citizens vs. crime and crime vs. unarmed citizens...the logic is the same.
Cop: “Ma’am, I can’t arrest that man for indecent exposure, all I can see is his head neck and shoulders.”
Old woman: “Stand up on this chair over here, you’ll get a much better view...”

Printed as next range target: Check.
Hog farm mapped: Check.
To those coming to this thread from the WWW based on your perv keyword search/perv forum link:
Get it?
Yes, sadly I agree.
I don’t think you or anyone else should have to close your curtains and imprison yourself in your/their home just to keep prying eyes out.
Should you wear revealing clothing or do risque things in front of a window? No, because then you’re enticing folks to check you out.
Just going about normal home life should not open you up to some guy taking photos and publishing them.
As for people in public, I don’t think you have the assumption of privacy there. I will say that I don’t agree with the ability of folks to take pictures of others and sell them for money without permission, even if they are in public.
Agreed. My comments about personal security measures including counter-surveillance around home were only an attempt to personally deal with loose policies on the matter, if we can’t stop them with legislation. Many in the media (one example: tabloids) and some business interests have likely opposed efforts to compensate photographed individuals.
Thanks FamilyOp. I think we’re in agreement on this. Take care.
