Can neighbors point security cameras at your property?

SPONSORED POST: Sara Riley from the Tom Riley Law Firm answers an Iowa's News Now viewer's question over whether someone can point security cameras towards your property and if there's any legal recourse if you want them to stop.

It's disturbing for neighbors across the street to have Multiple cameras pointed at my front door. No privacy, no fences.
This creepy shit, really makes me miss the past.. days where I could comfortably walk outside on my own porch and enjoy a cup of coffee without being constantly recorded, without my consent.

If you can see it from the public view, it's not protected as far as privacy rights!

[sofiawils]

Maybe it is time to allow to build more than ten-foot-high fence between neighbors but not to give the lawyers an oplortunity to earn even more.

In New York State, can a County DA decide how legally owned property by one party be invaded and destroyed, by a neighboring party? Should that be up to the court?

There is no right to privacy in your back yard!!!!

Is illegal or legal to put cameras inside my house without telling me or asking me?

[sambasim]

To me câmera in front the house towards the street it’s 100% ok but anywhere else should not be aloud over 5 feet because the fence maximum height is 6 feet this way you have privacy….

JB weld mixed with sawdust on 20' pole takes out security cameras

my house is on a hill... my cameras see everything coming down the street, & everyones front yard.... my neighbor - who I have a restraining order against due to her intentional destruction of 3 of my fences & my security cameras, lighting etc- got mad that my camera on my gate has a view of her front yard- the police & the Judge both agreed my cameras helped me prove my neighbor needed that restraining order- also- they are not looking into anything private- anyone driving down the street can see in your yard- it is a PUBLIC VIEW- & as long as it is not pointed where privacy is expected- EG- bedroom - you can have as many cameras as you deem needed for your protection- yes cameras are everywhere- if you are personally bothered by the fact your neighbor has cameras- nothing prevents you from getting your own cameras.

No, technically. There's nothing you can do if it's visible to the public. There is nothing you can do if the pool is inside our house. Then yes

We got a camera on our property line on illegal buildings that don't have permits for them.20 foot from our bedroom. With a microphone to listen to our conversation, both inside and outside. What can I do? They are all clearly aimed at us and doesn't pick up any part of her yard.

I live next to neighbors where are carports are about 10 feet from each other. I put up a blink camera above my carport door (where you enter the house from the carport. It is wide view so it shows my carport, and their carport. Our landlord called and said this was an invasion of privacy and we need to move it so that it can’t view their carport. But we can’t. It’s wide view and their place is 30 feet away from my house door. What do I do? Can I get in trouble?

Talking about your neighbor is sin. However, The person that complains about the camera usually knows exactly why the camera is present. Some complainers have a nasty habit of turning on things they can't turn off.
