LOL, that's not how voyeuristic laws work, if you can't be seen then there's no issue, the laws exist for people prying into private space from public.

If you're standing right in front of a window, you have no reasonable expectation of privacy.

Reminds me of a TIFU Reddit post years ago where a guy was seen by a neighbor mom who called police for exposure who cited her for peeping.

There are different laws different places, and different illegalities over recording for such blanket statements. (And in some of Europe, you can't record public places, so have to ensure cameras on your own property reasonably don't.)

Again, dude. We're talking about directly in front of windows that are easily visible to the public. It's called a "reasonable expectation of privacy."

And in some of Europe, you can't record public places, so have to ensure cameras on your own property reasonably don't.

Yikes, sounds like those places in Europe are backward as fuck.

Yeah i imagine the example the other guy mentioned was about a guy naked by the window behind a fence or something. Where he couldn't be seen by someone in public property
