Legal Issues for Outside Webcams and Others Privacy?

Posted by Cliff on from the nitpick-or-a-valid-concern dept.

Jesse Ferrell asks: "My neighbors are asking for me to remove my (weather) web cams from my website because they show part of their houses. Is there any legal precedent to a case like this? I can point the cameras upwards towards the sky more (they are weather cams of course) but it will take time and equipment, possibly modifications to my house. Have you ever heard of a similar situation? What should I do? I'll check the local ordinances and see what I come up with."

    "While such cameras are expensive (approx. US$1500),.......... software to blur out any of your neighbors' windows or other "sensitive" areas. "

    Cardboard cutout to block the neighbors house. 5 cents.
