BabsZilla tells us more.
OP Here. To answer some questions and lay down some facts. My housemate and I lived with my parents for a long time until I turned 18, then we had a house all lined up, and we moved out together about 15 minutes away. Not far, I am still in High School, and I wanted to remain close to my parents. I am of legal age here in Cali, and we are "careful" (Meaning we have safe sex with the pull-out method and birth control) My parents came into our house with the spare key I gave my mother for EMERGENCIES and planted 28 nanny-cams EVERYWHERE! We had to go through every piece of furniture and decor that we have to find them all. She called me literally 5 minutes after we finished having our "fun" to tell me she was watching me. I love my mum, but if this was to "protect" me, that's taking it too far. Thanks for commenting. Needless to say, we only have sex in the bedroom now...

This is illegal on so many levels. You should look into a lawyer immediately and your housemate as well . please don't just brush this off or it will never stop
Just so you know, I have taken the spare key away and removed all the cams. Locks have been changed, and law enforcement have been contacted. I asked them to warn my parents that I did not appreciate this. My folks seem to have cut off contact with my housemate and myself, but I kept their stupid nanny cams. No more spying on this girl. Thanks for the concern, but we handled it already.
Well that's not creepy at all
OP and her BF can be housemates and live with her parents, although I think by the FML this isn't the case. Her parents have the legal right to put cameras in their own house regardless if it is for security against break-ins or to keep an eye on their child or children. Although I think that would be way over controlling. If OP and her BF have their own place, and it is owned by her parents and living they are living there for free, her parent may have a legal right to put cameras up, but still, way over controlling. If OP and BF are paying rent they are probably protected from the snooping landlords same as anyone else would be. If OP and the BF are renting/buying their own place how the hell did OP's parent gain access to the house to start with. How did they even justify this in their minds?
Time to get a managed wireless router, change the SSID, change the wireless password, change the router admin password, and look at which wireless clients are on your network. Oh... and call the police??
18 is not too young to be setting boundaries with your parents. Do consider consulting an attorney regarding the unlawful surveillance. I'm not suggesting you sue or litigate against your family, but you might want to consider a restraining order of some kind that lets them know that what they did was wrong, and that type of behavior will get them kicked out of your life for once and always. Your decisions, right or wrong, belong to you.
Wait, was it your house or your parents house? Because even more creepy if it is your house. It's creepy to begin with-your parents watching you. I would either rip out al the cameras or have rough crazy sex every night just to spite them.
Do they have a reason for having cameras in your house?..
Wait, what? You didn't know they had wireless cams in your house or you did know and had sex anyway? If the first, your life sucks, and you need to deal with it by more than posting on fml. If the latter, YDI but your parents didn't.

Jesus, what an invasion of privacy!
How embarrassing! I wonder what possessed them to put cameras in your house.
