There's a bit of difference between:
having a camera with the intended
purpose to record the public street and inadvertently recording something inside
a building
vs
deliberately moving your camera into position around the
side of the dwelling in order to record what's going on in the private
dwelling
And I certainly would expect the Law to view the second situation
as a deliberate (rather then accidental) invasion of privacy.

I'm not sure of the details, but there were certainly plans afoot over here to
make deliberately pointing a camera (video or still) at private property
illegal.
We've had a fair few problems like intimate close-up photos of Princess Diana
taken when she was on a yacht half-a-mile off-shore ...
Other Royals photographed when they thought they were relaxing in private in
their "back yard" ...
I know people might say "but they're royals, who cares", but any laws
brought in to protect them should be generic and protect the rest of us from
intrusion too.
Personally, I feel if you invite press attention, or you are in public, or you
*choose* to be a public persona, then you accept the consequences. But if that
is not your *choice*, other people should not be permitted to drag you into the
public arena.
