great recommendation; i didn’t think of that. putting up a curtain and sitting in darkness to avoid privacy. living in California, this is considered an invasion of privacy. California’s “invasion of privacy” statute (Penal Code Section 647(j)).

Are you referring to 647(j)(1), 647(j)(2), 647(j)(3), or 647(j)(4)?

You really might want to re-read the code. It isn't as applicable to your story as you seem to feel:

Thanks for the link

647j even contains the provision "with the intent to invade the privacy of a person or persons inside"

Doesn't look like this is what's happening here

Also "putting up a curtain and sitting in darkness" because a light control or light mesh curtain blocks 100% of light, sure
