In the USA, laws against looking in someone's house on purpose are called "peeping Tom" laws.
Generally they specify that it's not a problem if you do not intend to violate anyone's privacy and don't take any steps to improve your sightline; conversely, if you intend to look into someone's house and you take any active measure to do so, you're in violation.
