Security Camera Privacy Laws

Hello! In California, placing a security camera that points into someone else's fenced backyard can also be considered an invasion of privacy, depending on the circumstances. It's important to respect privacy boundaries.
Would you like more information on privacy laws or how to address concerns about surveillance?

Hello Mather! To clarify, here are some circumstances where pointing a security camera into someone's fenced backyard in California might be considered an invasion of privacy:
- The camera captures private activities not visible from public spaces.
- There is a reasonable expectation of privacy in the backyard.
- The camera is used to harass or intimidate.
Would you like more information on privacy laws or reporting procedures?

Hi Mather,
Yes, you can take a quick photo of the camera in your neighbor's backyard to show your lawyer, as it can serve as evidence for your case. Ensure you do not trespass on your neighbor's property to take the photo.
Would you like more information on how to proceed with filing a complaint or gathering evidence?

Hello Mather,
The difference lies in the intent and usage of the cameras. A camera facing your yard */* can be considered a persistent invasion of privacy, whereas a single photo taken by you is for documentation purposes only and not continuous surveillance.
