let's say you live in a high rise condo and you have a telescope and you occasionally look at condos in neighboring buildings. Is this illegal and what is the name of the offense?
- lvl_130
yes. it's called a peeping tom, or voyeurism(sp?)

sorta a judgment call. if something is visible in the public domain, it isnt illegal. Though if you are using a telescope peering into unsuspecting peoples apartments, where they can expect a reasonable degree of privacy, then yes, it's probably illegal.
I'm not sure if voyeurism is the offense, or it could be something innocuous as criminal mischief or something.

I did this once with binoculars. One neighbour (who was around the same age as I was and attended the same school) saw something in a window of my house ( I was careful to hide my face) and screamed. She then ran downstairs to her father (which I could see). At this point, I just left and never really did it again. Got boring after a short while.

Lloyd, there's no chance you live in a high rise.

One time I was at my brother in law's crib and we were messing with a lazer pointer. We shot it out of the front window and into a neighbor across the street's house. Cops came and we said we playing with the cat.
- I did that a few times too, haha. But cops never came. I was just bored during blackouts.Jaline

I'd occasionally masturbate this way as a child living in Manhattan. Good orgasms, as I recall, given the anxiety involved in both illicitly spying and finishing early enough.

I don't think it is. You have a reasonable responsibility to ensure you guard your own privacy. If they leave their curtains/blinds open for the world to look in then they're open to the fact people will be looking. I think recording the imagery is where the law kicks in. Thats for the UK anyway...

American laws are probably different. Thanks though.
