Some people seem to think stealth camping automatically means breaking the laws and trying to get away with it. Often that is not the situation. In fact I have found that in many areas no one knows what the laws are or what is acceptable. That includes the local police. Even when staying in areas where it is legal, I try to be inconspicuous and as stealthy as possible. Legal or not, you do not want the local residents to be upset and/or call the police.
I can give another analogy. I live in a suburban neighborhood. I practice archery in my backyard. I have a safe place with a large backstop down in a gulley with a fenced off woodland behind it. The law says that I cannot discharge a firearm in my area. A bow is not a firearm so I should be legal. Even so I do not push the issue. I only practice during weekdays when the neighbors are all gone. If I see anyone, I stop and put my gear away. That is the equivalent of being stealthy. I do it to respect my neighbors and neighborhood.
