A camera pointed toward a neighboring yard can raise questions about privacy and intent. LOHM attorney David Hisle discussed those questions in “My Neighbor Installed a Camera Pointing to My Yard. Is That Legal?,” an Ask Real Estate article by Jill Terreri Ramos published in The New York Times on August 22, 2026.
The article considers a Maryland homeowner’s concern about a concealed camera aimed at a secluded backyard. David noted that proving a camera was placed with harmful intent can be difficult and that the law’s application may vary by jurisdiction. Those details matter when assessing what legal options may be available in a particular dispute.
David’s practice includes civil litigation, real estate, and criminal defense matters. He has also written an overview of Maryland’s visual surveillance law for readers who want to learn more about the issue.
