Seen by neighbors?
Have any of your neighbors seen you nude at home through a window? Can your neighbors call the police on you if they see you nude in your home? The other day I was walking through my kitchen past a window that doesn't have a blind on it and I think my neighbor in the next building may have seen me nude. So I'm assuming they didn't notice or if they did, they didn't bother to call the police.
I dont think they can call the police....I do it all the time, on purpose!!! Hope someone sees me!!
Alrighty then. Not that I'm trying to flash my neighbors but I'm not going to be preoccupied with the fact I have one window in my apartment I can't get blinds that fit.
I'm not sure they can call the police if you're just walking around nude in your own home. They might say something if you're outside, but doubtful unless you're doing something they'd consider objectionable. I walk around nude in my house all the time with the shades toward the back of the house open and the windows open. The only way anyone is going to see anything is if they're trying to.
I agree!

They can call the police, but whether the police will do anything depends on the laws in the area and how it is worded. Public Indecency and Indecent Exposure are two different laws. Public indecency requires proof that you are doing it for sexual reasons, indecent exposure just requires you to be naked, and indecent exposure laws include nudity where the public could see you (including your home)
Had you been in the window "shaking your junk" in front of the window they might have a complaint. But simply catching a glimpse of someone is not reason for police action. Relax on that. However, you do seem concerned about offending your neighbors so getting those blinds would be a good idea.
I would think the neighbor could call the police. However, I would think that it depends on the what the laws are in the area you live in, how those laws are interrupted, and if the police officer's who respond to the call feel that the law has been broken, as well as if the broken law should result in any type of action. So the best advice I wouldthink is use caution so that your neighbor does not continue to see you nude.I would not stop being a nudist or being nude in my home, but would be sure to stay away from that window until you get some curtains or blinds for the window. If it is impossible to avoid the window then I would put a sheet, blanket, or something to block the window till I got the curtains or blinds.
This discussion got me thinking again about how I believe a lot of the non-acceptance and views by society that nudism is something that only perverts do is self caused by the nudists themselves. Most of us are afraid of being arrested, hassled, labeled, etc. to the point where we hide in the dark, shadows, behind curtains, etc. so we begin to just automatically think that you could get in trouble and society sees the fear and hears of the hiding thus building the perception that it is wrong. In many (obviously not all) situations and places that is not the case and it is not illegal. Like a few have said here it depends upon the law in their area which most people fail to actually check into.
It can vary by local ordinances but in California the Indecent Exposure law is thatdefendant willfully exposed his or her person or private parts AND the defendant must have intended to act for a lewd or obscene purpose. The prosecutor can establish intent by showing that the defendant intended to direct public attention to the defendant's genitals or that the defendant wanted to achieve sexual arousal, sexual gratification, or sexual affront. In other words, if I'm minding my own business say gardening then it is not indecent exposure.
Now, am I one of those people that I say am helping create the problem...yes. I am not about to go test it by going out in the front yard and working on my yard nude and offend the neighbors. However, I do wander my backyard nude and two 2 story homes overlook the yard. Neither neighbor has complained.
Most importantly, check the laws in your state and local area. I'm sure world-wide they range probably from it's fine to you might be arrested if someone saw you naked in your own home and they were in the home too.
We live in an apartment in Arizona. We had the police come over twice in about 8 days. The first time, someone called (anonymously of course) and said they could see my lady naked in the apartment. The blinds were open about a foot maybe 18 inches. The only thing I can think of is they saw her walk by the window towards the kitchen. The second time, the police said the same thing. The only difference this time was that she was asleep and COULDN'T have been walking around.I shouldn't neglect to mention that we live on the second floor. Really if anyone anything, they would have to have been in the right place at the right time.
To actually answer your question: Yes, neighbors can call the police. In our case, nothing was done and we were told we weren't doing anything illegal. I found out the caller wasanonymous because the second time, I asked about pressing charges against a pepping tom.
Actually, there was a man who was reported to the police and being seen naked in his own house and he was convicted of a crime.
