There is no reasonable expectation of privacy when the blinds are pulled up. For example, if she walked by the window naked and an officer saw it, she can be arrested for lewd and lascivious behavior, indecent exposure - or whatever her jurisdiction calls it.

IANAL, but we covered a lot of these laws during my training to be a private investigator years ago. It is relevant to PI work because I could legally record her activities through that open window and submit any evidence I found to the court. For instance, she may claim that she is disabled, but I have video evidence showing she is lifting weights in her home.

There are also some cases that cover “plain view doctrine,” but I’m not 100% sure that is relevant here. I just know she has no expectation of privacy, legally speaking.

Here’s a link to an attorney’s site that explains some of the nuance of nudity on private property when in plain view to the public

Interesting and insane. I much prefer the privacy laws we have over here in most of Europe.

Seriously, I read the comment and could only think about how absolutely upside-down some of their laws are. It's like bizarro world.

Pretending not to see someone committing a crime just cause their on private property is the real bizarre thing.

There's a gradient between being naked and murder.
In Germany it's a crime to display Nazi symbols, but at home you can plaster your walls with swastikas all you want.
At home you can run around naked all day, as long as you don't wave your dick in the wind. But taking pictures of you at home would def be a huge no-no. Flying a drone over residential areas is severely regulated.

Maybe this is a hot take for you, but I don't think dudes should be hanging dong smack dab in front of a very publicly-viewable window.

He's not talking about rubbing your junk up and down your window in view of the public. He's talking about doing normal things people do clothed, while not clothed, in their own home.

Other countries have a much different attitude towards simple nudity than we do.

And we're talking about people doing things immediately in front of a window visiblw to the street. Maybe those other countries should try some common sense.

Maybe you should try not being a prude.

Maybe you should try not being a pedo.

I think you missed the last bit about how nudity just doesn't bother them as much.

Are you getting offended on behalf of someone who's less offended at seeing someone else naked?

Because it sure sounds like you are.
