In my opinion, and from what I know of rights, this should be a community issue, where communities exist.

Rural and urban communities, cities, etc, are much different in needs for laws like this, based on frequency and past offenses. If there is no need, I see no reason it should be imposed.

Land size, and window placement is also an obvious difference between properties, which I would think would be an issue in some places more than others.

People who live on land large enough that un-aided eyesight can't detect in detail what is happening behind the glass, should not be forced to have drapes, but then again, nor should anyone.

I believe there is also the point of expected right to privacy. While a passerby is not a peeping tom, per se, it could be an argument in which property rights could be used to aid the "supposed" offender, and justifiably so.

We don't have a right to be "not offended", we have a right to privacy and free expression and belief however.
