A:
If someone is looking through your windows and taking photos, you may have grounds to build a case against them for invasion of privacy. This behavior can be intrusive and might violate your right to privacy within your own home. It's important to document the incident, including any evidence such as photos or videos of the person taking the pictures.
Since the person works in the office for your neighborhood, their actions could also be a violation of any codes of conduct or policies they are expected to follow in their professional role. You should report the incident to their employer and the neighborhood association, providing any evidence you have collected.
Additionally, consider contacting law enforcement to file a report if you feel that your privacy has been significantly breached. Seeking legal advice can help you understand your rights and the potential actions you can take to protect your privacy and ensure that such incidents do not happen again.
