Interesting slant on this, can always count on you for that.
I'd say it is odd for so liberal and nanny state a place as Messichusettes that is doesn't have a better consent for photography law. Not sure just how a law to stop upskirt can be written as many times 'upskirt' is in plain view. Perhaps it needs to say something about the photographing of people's undergarments without written consent is illegal.
As it stands now the law doesn't make upskirting illegal.
Now I don't know how popular Whitey was, certainly feared, and every state has had their own Whitey. As for which state has the most criminals in office, I don't think any state has a lock on that title. Louisiana has had it's fair share, and the VP under Nixon, ol' arch-conservative, Spiro was run out of Blair House for political racketeering back as county commissioner and then Governor of Maryland.
And damn sure making peepers criminals won't be competiting with politicians, they tend to show off their junk, not sneak pics of other people's privates...
