Exactly, if the man had stepped out on his porch, surveyed the landscape, and noticing no person present then decided to urinate on his lawn (in view of the camera), (as is a great rural American tradition), is the man now potentially on the hook for indecent exposure?

To be blunt, I think phrasing things as questions is not helpful, because the government entities that want to violate all of our rights will just answer "yes" or whatever suits their current spasm of sociopathy and control. We need to start phrasing these things in a manner that says "NO" and doesn't leave it open for interpretation. No, a person should not be on the hook for indecent exposure because individuals should be able to decide when they have an expectation of privacy. No asshole in the government should be able to say "everybody doing thing X (or using thing Y) does not have an expectation of privacy" because that's what they say about everything. Nothing makes me rage harder than these criminals in the government saying things like that about me. Like this stuff about Tor users not having an expectation of privacy. If those people don't have an expectation of privacy, nobody does. So let's stop phrasing these kinds of things as questions and be more forceful about how we really feel.
