How should an investigator observe someone in their home according to privacy laws?

  1. From the street or other public property

  2. By using drones

  3. Through direct surveillance from the neighbor's property

  4. By hacking into the person's webcams

The correct answer is: From the street or other public property

The other options are incorrect because they all involve potentially invasive or illegal means of observation. Option B suggests using drones, which may violate airspace laws and the person's right to privacy. Option C involves directly spying on someone from a neighbor's property, which could also be considered trespassing. Option D suggests hacking into a person's personal devices, which is a clear violation of privacy laws. Option A, observing from a public space, is the least intrusive and most legally acceptable means of observation.
