How is that legal, because the camera is on the ground?
Yes.
You're in a public street, where you have a legal right to be/ Flying a "drone" right next to the window to video the inside or up over a privacy fence is a different story.

So I guess someone owns the air then, no?

Actually, in some areas, people do own air rights. Not sure if that is relevant here though

Privacy was not reached due to tinted window. So what was tbe illegal act?
It says the crime was felony unlawful surveillance. Just because he didn't get anything doesn't mean he didn't surveil.

If it's your property then yea, you own the air. In places like New York City, there are very complex air rights laws; if you haven't sold your air rights, you own them.

that's a dumb argument. by your logic, had he been videoing a building with no windows at all then he could've been charged legitimately with this crime.

You do have a reasonable expectation of privacy up to a certain altitude if memory serves.

Look up the definition of surveillance.
It's monitoring behavior, activity, or other changing information. Videotaping a building that has no activity taking place would not fall under that definition.

Basically it is illegal except when the government does it. Then, it is perfectly legal

I know it's illegal to record audio without consent.

My Merriam-Webster definition trumps your Wikipedia definition.

videotaping a building that did have activity taking place but was impossible to see inside wouldn't either.

Hmm. Drone law, you say? I don't know anyone who specializes in that, but this guy might be able to help.

A person is guilty of unlawful surveillance in the second degree when:
1. For his or her own, or another person's amusement, entertainment, or profit, or for the purpose of degrading or abusing a person, he or she intentionally uses or installs, or permits the utilization or installation of an imaging device to surreptitiously view, broadcast or record a person dressing or undressing or the sexual or other intimate parts of such person at a place and time when such person has a reasonable expectation of privacy, without such person's knowledge or consent; or
2. For his or her own, or another person's sexual arousal or sexual gratification, he or she intentionally uses or installs, or permits the utilization or installation of an imaging device to surreptitiously view, broadcast or record a person dressing or undressing or the sexual or other intimate parts of such person at a place and time when such person has a reasonable expectation of privacy, without such person's knowledge or consent; . . .

Can you "surveil" through a brick wall or tinted glass? I'm guessing that surveillance has something to do with seeing?

According to this there would need to be nudity or sexual activity going on?

There is usually nudity involved when they cut you open.
