Why are the operators so sloppy in hiding themselves?

In the movie, Sicario - Day of the Soldado, the American operators set up a surveillance team above the high school campus where they would kidnap a cartel's boss's daughter.

but we can see form this screen shot, there are plenty of tall building around their position and any one curious enough to spy around with a binocular would have seen them, I am assuming it will take the Americans days to stay there before they are confident enough to act.

The only reason I can think of is their window is one-sided visible, e.g. you cannot see through from the outside.

Any other thoughts?

I think the only thing that may be considered sloppy would be the binocular lenses, otherwise it would be perfectly normal. You have to consider as well that they wante to pose as less professional on purpose so that they would be confused as a cartel hit related.
