- balls187 8y agoAre you in the US, do you live on a public street, and does your state have Peeping Tom laws? It's not cut and dry, but if what you're doing is in clear view of a public street, then it's unlikely you will win an argument based on having a reasonable expectation of privacy. You of course can bring this argument in front of the courts, but my non-legal opinion is that you wouldn't prevail. There are a few contrived examples: A cop walks by and sees you assault someone in your house through the window. That's enough PC to enter without a warrant. You can try to argue your privacy was violated and , but it was in clear view of the public. You perform a lewd act in your home in front of the window, that is in clear view of a school bus stop where children are awaiting the bus. It would be doubtful that you could use privacy as a defense against indecent exposure laws. If the ring camera was somehow zoomed in to ONLY film your actions through the window, then perhaps you may have cause.
