"Would you be so kind as to point out where in the Bill of Rights or in any civil or penal law that you have this 'right of privacy'?"

Sure. Roe V. Wade.

I knew you were going to respond with this, so I carefully worded my request. This is a court interpretation; it is not a civil or penal law, nor is it in the Bill of Rights.

I disagree with the 1972 Supreme Court's interpretation of the 'emanation from a penumbra'. I also disagree with the 1857 Supreme Court's Dred Scott decision, so it is not the only time I have disagreed with their interpretation of law.

However, they only interpreted these two laws. There is not direct law stating that privacy is guarenteed on your (outdoor) property whatsoever. Nor is there any guarentee of privacy in the BoR, the 1972 blunder nonwithstanding.

Sorry, I'm not a legal scholar. I'm afraid you'll have to settle for "Don't Tread On Me."

I agree with your first statement. I'm not sure how your second statement applies in any way to this argument.
