Of course, cases like this make me want to go visit with a digital camera (are there still any other kinds?), snap pictures of everything that can be seen from public spaces and post them all online.

Not that I don't understand the anxiety, but it's retrograde grasping at a sense of privacy that never existed.  It doesn't matter if I can see the front of your house in East Gwillimbury, and your neighbor has been staring in your windows forever.
