Nah. Makes me question the definition of adult.

If you pull the shade on the window, there is no problem.

If you damage his camera, he will have a legitimate case and you will end up paying for it. What is he going to see with a camera that he can't see by looking out the window? Are you going to paint over his windows, too?

No point in moving. You (er, I mean your friend) are likely to find a neighbor you can't get along with everywhere. Get a prescription for Xanax and chill.
