Depends on that "state". If it shows some sweater meat or snapper, that'd be illegal. Bra and panties, not so much.

I don't see how a person would know if the person is wearing panties or not though. It could go either way there.
 
They probably do that too. :lol:


I'd figure Ana Ivanovic and Sarah Hughes are far better to look at than the average woman on a street

But they can't get close to those women. Honestly, these guys are probably hoping to get pictures of women without panties or ill-fitting panties where they aren't covering everything so well. :lol: Do they care about what the woman looks like as long as she isn't hideous? They just getting crotch shots after all.

Who knows what makes the mind of a pervert tick? :lol: It's probably just some weird fetish or something.

agreed

make sure you snap your foot hard!

Well they can find out. And if she's showing brain, slap him in cuffs.
 
never said that. Wish you would read what I wrote. I said the law AS WRITTEN didn't cover this circumstance (according to the articles). If the judge had ruled that the law did cover this, that would have been the judge making law. I'm not necessarily against that, but that's not really what we want judges doing.

I agree with you. I can't believe there isn't law that would cover privacy or something.
 
I see this as the same as hiding a secret video in a bathroom or shower. I don't see that nudity is the defining distinction and it should be illegal.

One of the greatest lack of protective laws is in the area of privacy.
 
Why would anyone want to take pictures alone? Are not the things inside panties more important and unattainable with picture taking alone?
 
Upskirt is the stupidest thing on the planet, next to liberalism.
 
So people are saying there should be a law against taking photos of peoples undies in public?

Someone should be arrested for this photo!

Please don't try to tell me that's the same things as an "upskirt" photo.

Please tell me you're not serious.
 
I suppose then, you have no problem with some guy taking a picture of your woman's snatch and putting it online for the world to see?


To me at least....this is an acceptable reason to inflict physical harm on Uncle Pervy...and use his ass as a case for his phone.
 
And what law do you suggest? Pornography? No nudity involved. Voyeurism? Nope. Same as before. Trespassing? Public domain. Assault? No bodily harm took place.

The only argument is if you tried for some "public decency", but that's a slippery slope.

It's an invasion of privacy. Like ChrisL said - much like a peeping tom scenario.
 
I saw a woman in the mall the other day walking around with her pants half down like guys do. Would it be illegal to take of picture of her?

Just saying. It may not be so simple to pin this down.

Not the same thing and you know it.
 
Check out tumblr, photoblogger, or any one of those sites, and there are plenty of candids of people on there that people have taken of others... like guys working out that the gym, hot women on the bus/train, etc. Privacy has changed in the past 15 years. Everyone has a smart phone with a camera now.

This is the price of freedom. You don't get to tell people they can't upskirt you when there might be any number of opportunities for them to do it, even self-created ones. You are responsible for protecting your own privacy. There shouldn't be laws to do it for you.


Taking pictures of people from ten feet away is hardly the same thing as walking right up to somebody and sticking a camera directly under their crotch or behind and purposefully taking a picture of whatever might be under their clothing.

IT'S NOT THE SAME THING.

Taking pictures inside a locker room shower, or inside a toilet stall is not the same thing as taking them out in the wide open.

A security camera on the outside of a building, or inside a business, is not the same thing as a hidden camera inside a bathroom.

Some of you people are trying to move the goal posts to ridiculous places to make a bizarre point.

When a superstar like Anne Hathaway (I really don't like her by the way) wears a micro-mini skirt with no underwear and gets out of a limo in front of dozens of photographers she knows there's a great chance somebody is going to get a beaver shot.

When "Miss Nobody" is just trying to get her grocery shopping done, or just trying to get home from work, having a cell phone camera stuck up under her clothing to get a beaver shot she's a victim.

Apparently this just doesn't penetrate - there is no PRIVACY in a PUBLIC setting.

No nudity, no violation. Everything else is just indignant, whiny opinion and outrage.
