I wonder what that thing is. It looks like something optical, it could be a very weird camera, or a laser used to detect glass vibrations from windows and decode them in sound (to hear the sounds inside the house).
I think that it's some type of heat sensing camera to see if anyone in the house is home and, if so, where in the home they are.
..but I have seen tutorials on how to make those laser listening devices. It's actually really easy to do, which is somewhat scary.. and shouldn't take up more room than a cellphone and a stabilizing tool.
Yes you are probably right, it also seems to have an LCD monitor to look at the picture. Technology made many things possible... things that were simply impossible to imagine when the constitution was written... but the fact that something is possible doesn't mean that it should also be legal. Unfortunately our governments thinks "if technology allows it then i can use it and your rights don't matter anymore because our founding fathers, two hundred years ago, didn't explicitly prohibit it".

So here we have:
1) a paranoid person that thinks the government is spying on him that
2) sees a suspicious van on the other side of the road with a man with a weird-looking camera pointed straight at his house
3) and said van runs away once he starts filming it
Dunno... he is either very unlucky or right to be paranoid.
