There was a woman and a kid cutting through his yard who saw him through
the window. I got the impression from reading one article that she
believed he was deliberately displaying himself once he saw them. To me,
the lesson to be learned from that would be: keep out of other people's
yards -- but she called the cops.

We had a pro hockey player years ago here plead guilty to indecent
exposure after a neighbor told the cops he had a longtime habit of doing
things around his home/property in ways that were sure to show off his
naughty bits. Such as walking outside to the garage wearing only a
shirt. He'd manually lift the garage door, the shirt would ride up, and
everyone would get a good view. The cops began watching him and caught
him at it. But he was doing that stuff outside, not inside.

And so what if he was "deliberately displaying himself". He was INSIDE
his house. It sounds like only a trespasser would have been able to
see him, so it sounds like they got what they deserved. My house is
far off the road and I can barely see my neighbors. For anyone to see
into my windows from the sides or the back of the house they have to
be standing on my enclosed deck. Anyone who can see me making coffee
will get arrested when I call the police to report a trespasser. The
cop sounds like an idiot.
