Police, acting on an anonymous tip, entered his property, and peered into the open window, saw the activity, and arrested the man. <br /> <br />It was determined that becase of the orientation of the window, it was not possible to see in the window, unless one were already on the arrested mans property,...in essance trespassing. And it was not possible to see the illicit activity from any public venue. The court ruled that the man had a reasonable expectation of privacy, given the overall orientation of the room ,.. and so .the charges were dropped.
