Massachusetts Court Says 'Upskirt' Photos Are Legal

Posted by timothy on from the just-because-you-can dept.

cold fjord writes with this CNN report: "Massachusetts' highest court ruled Wednesday that it is not illegal to secretly photograph underneath a person's clothing — a practice known as "upskirting" — prompting one prosecutor to call for a revision of state law. The high court ruled that the practice did not violate the law because the women who were photographed while riding Boston public transportation were not nude or partially nude."

    . . so people cant wear skirts anymore? Sharia Law is over there . . . .

    What about windy days? Can we outlaw them, too.

    And escalators. They often give people an eyeful of thigh (and not all of it is pretty, ew!)

    Many upskirts will show less than a miniskirt or booty shorts. How will that factor in to the new law? Will the length of the skirt be taken into account?

    So many questions....
