The law was describing a state of dress - nude, partially nude, whatever - both of which, I'm sure, are illegal. Would you want someone wearing a skirt or dress to be classified as "partially nude", which also means breaking the law?
And what's your (legal) view about women who wear skirts and intentionally show their panties in various ways? Should they be arrested? Is it OK to take a pic of them? Exactly where do you draw the line?
A law that says "You have a right to privacy" is vague and subject to interpretation.In your mind, is "upskirt photography" easy to define, or is it vague and subject to interpretation?I think the deeper question is: Should laws be strictly defined, or should laws be vague and subject to interpretation?
I never saw so much skin in my life as when I visited Miami, Florida a few years ago (in the winter, no less.) There were no skirts to look up!
(CNN) -- Modern-day peeping Toms in Massachusetts, the sorts who get their thrills snapping "upskirt" photos on crowded subways, now have their behavior criminalized.
Gov. Deval Patrick signed a bill Friday, according to his office, making photographing or recording video under a person's clothing -- think down a blouse or up a skirt -- a misdemeanor.
Modern times, huh. I guess we should be glad really hot chics don't just take off all of their clothes and insist we learn to appreciate them better.
It's official now, fellas - if you're snapping a chick and she's showing some bra, prepare for the cuffs.
America.
Just once I'd love to see you post SOMETHING that makes sense.
I hope you realize you're brand of ridiculous is truly special.

Wow. That was.That was quick. :mrgreen:
Is it just that you are feeling a bit put out to have your hobbies disrupted....or are you attempting to show the irony of someone complaining of complainers by continuously complaining about them?

Why would it not be legal? If you are in a public place you are allowed to be photographed. No one would have thought seriously about a law making it illegal until the situation came up and the current technology. And police and prosecutors are supposed to follow the laws, not make stuff up simply because a "Duh! this must be illegal" reaction.
No law against it equals legal.

It's so easy for somebody who will never fall victim to something to be so callous and ignorant about the whole situation.
"meh - doesn't effect me, so any concern about it is stupid, and a waste of time."
I doubt it'll affect you either.
