Neighbors
I moved to my new location about 4 years ago. I like to have at least one nude day a week. At my old location, my next door neighbor saw me naked through my sliding doors in my kitchen. She was planting flowers by our adjoining fence when she saw me. Later that day she knocked on my door to let me know that I could be seen . When I asked , she said that she was not offended , which was a relief. She told me not to worry about it even after I let her know that I am like this at least one day a week.
My new neighbors were not so understanding when they caught a glimpse of me though the side dining room window. I got a knock on the door telling me to close my blinds when Im walking around in the nude . There goes the thought of sunbathing in the nude on my deck . lol
Does anyone have any similiar stories.
Hey you are legally within the privacy of your own home.
Are you a lawyer? Licensed to practice in the OP's place of residence?
There have been cases of people being charged - and I believe convicted - of indecent exposure while nude in their homes. The one I'm particularly thinking of was a guy drinking coffee in his front window when a mother and child passed by. In many (most? all?) jurisdictions you are considered "in public" if you can be seen from a public place - e.g. the road.
Caution needs to be exercised, especially where the textile world interfaces with the naturist world. In this VA case, it cost the accused time to appear over months of court proceedings and he incurred thousands in attorney's fees and court costs for his defense. Intent (not proved) is also written into the laws.
According to YNA, Virginia law 18.2-387 Indecent exposure: Every person who intentionally makes an obscene display or exposure of his person, or the private parts thereof, in any public place, or in any place where others are present, or procures another to so expose himself, shall be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor. No person shall be deemed to be in violation of this section for breastfeeding a child in any public place or any place where others are present.
Where I live, in PA, 3127. Indecent exposure: (a) Offense defined.A person commits indecent exposure if that person exposes his or her genitals in any public place or in any place where there are present other persons under circumstances in which he or she knows or should know that this conduct is likely to offend, affront or alarm.

This guy appealed and it was found that the woman was NOT just passing by and had actually gone onto the man's property and stood on tip-toe to see into his window, He was acquitted.
She SHOULD have been charged with trespass an, voyeurism, and invasion of privacy.
2) because she was going to miss watching me clean the pool and do yardwork while naked, on the side of the house where she had a view from her upstairs master bedroom. I thought I had plenty of privacy screening but I thought wrong! :D
If you can see the window, they can see you through the window....

Very well said. So simply put. I wonder why anyone wouldn't know that.
I think we lost the ball a bit in this thread.
The OP said the neighbors complained they could see the OP nude through the window. Someone said the OP was within their legal rights being nude in their home. I cited a case indicating that's not necessarily so. Then things seemed to devolve into debating the case I cited.
The particulars of that case aren't super relevant to the OP's situation. What's relevant is that the neighbors COULD call the police and the OP COULD end up in jail/court/spending lots of $$$/etc. It depends on the particulars of the OP's local laws, what mood the police are in, what mood the local DA is in, and a bunch of other factors. The least dangerous thing to do is say, "Sorry" and keep the blinds closed.
