This isn't "viewing a home from public space". When you walk down the sidewalk, and you see the home for the 30 seconds it takes you to move past where it is in view, you are "viewing" it. When you live across the street, and every once in awhile you pull back the blinds to see if the mail has come, and you incidentally see the house, that's public viewing. When the government installs surveillance cameras aimed at the house 24/7 for the rest of eternity, they have access to details that no one could possibly know if they were "viewing a home from public space". 35 years later, they'll be able to search through the footage to see who left and at what hours of the evening for all of October 2024. We can't even know right now what they might be able to infer from the footage. Even if an unmarked car sat out in front of the home, watching it for a week straight... that surveillance is ephemeral. No one will be able to ask the surveiller what happened 35 years later, he won't remember much. He was there for a 12 hour shift for 6 days straight. Not up for 5 month's non-stop. Not digital and losing not even a single bit of detail. The two things aren't equivalent, not even slightly. Ephemeral and limited, versus forever and all-encompassing. That's the criteria.
