Alexa, are you connected to the CIA?

Hey, as long as it doesn't bother you to have that guy standing at your open window listening and watching you, no issues. Personally it bugs the heck out of me. I'm not fond of Peeping Toms.

I can watch, record, film and track you very easily and legally. With Telephoto lenses, parabolic microphones, spotting scopes and the like, I don't need the internet. As long as I don't step onto your property, it is all perfectly legal. What stops that from happening is two fold. One, there aren't that many perverts out there, and two, you aren't that interesting.

How do you legally manage that without a court order, and/or probable cause? And how do you manage that when the doors are closed, the window shades are down, and the television is on interfering with your parabolic mic? Hmm?

Interesting has nothing to do with it, I just hate Peeping Toms, electronic or otherwise.

You said your hypothetical peeping tom was watching you thru an open window. No court order is needed to sit in your living room and point your spotting scope into your neighbors front windows. You stop those type of intrusions by closing the windows, pulling the shades, not sitting in front of an open window naked.
If you truly don't want people to know where you shop, what you read and what you eat, don't throw out your trash, because once it is out of your hands it becomes available to everyone. Even without the internet you have to take steps to maintain whatever level of privacy you wish to achieve. You do the same thing with the internet. Don't let things you don't want to be seen get posted in the first place.

Yeah, I can't figure out if you're being purposely obtuse, or really are dense, and at this point I simply don't care.
