>> Is it legal to have a camera on your house pointing at the street? And is it legal for you to live-stream it?

What if it offers a view of the house across the street? Or into their window?

Also, it's one thing to have a camera record 24/7 so footage can be reviewed later. It's very different to add motion detection and face recognition to ubiquitous live streams that include views of other peoples property.

Edit.

I stand corrected. This cannot be used by police at all. A police officer would have to be present at the time of the video and not reliant upon that video for observation of the criminal act. If the officer requires use of the video then that video would require a warrant prior to its viewing by law enforcement.

It doesnt require a warrant if you willingly give it to them....

It does require a warrant to use the video as grounds to enter their neighbor's home, if the previous Supreme Court ruling holds up.

More likely, they'd figure out some kind of parallel construction.

parallel construction should be relabeled as perjury or something similar
