Upskirts legal in MA

2014-03-05 21:18:01.622788+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Shooting photos up women's skirts legal in Massachusetts, high court rules.

"At the core of the Commonwealth's argument to the contrary is the proposition that a woman, and in particular a woman riding on a public trolley, has a reasonable expectation of privacy in not having a stranger secretly take photographs up her skirt. The proposition is eminently reasonable, but (the law) in its current form does not address it," the court wrote in its decision.

Wish I had time to chase down the details of the law, it'd be interesting to see how the legislature failed on this.
