While it borders on creepy is there really anything illegal about doing this? I know expectation of privacy and such but if he's masturbating right in front of a window that he knows neighbors can look into how much expectation of privacy does he really have?

Somewhat related, I live on a pretty busy street full of bars and seen many people pulled over and be arrested for DUIs right below my window. The other day I saw someone get pulled over and two cops get out of the car to talk to her, I grabbed my binoculars to watch what was going on and somehow the cop noticed me 9 stories up with my binoculars and pointed his flashlight at me. I retreated for a second and then thought "Wait, what the hell, I'm on my private property watching the police doing official business on a public street, I'm perfectly entitled to watch if I want, so I went back out and watched. He pointed the flashlight at me, I didn't retreat this time so he just starred at me looking really pissed off. Was I in the right here? I can't imagine there is anything legally or ethically wrong with watching something happen on a public street, binoculars or not, especially when there are government employees involved.
