A Texas court has thrown out a law prohibiting ‘up the skirt’ photography, on the grounds the previous ruling violated Texas’ citizens’ constitutional right to freedom of expression.
The Texas Court of Appeals ruled 8-1 to strike down part of a law which bans taking images of another person in public without their consent and with the intention to “arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person”, criticising the “paternalistic” intrusion into peoples’ private right to be aroused.
quote:
Halie Ricketts, a victim of an ‘up the skirt’ shot in an Austin mall earlier this year, commented: “Currently the law is protecting the criminals and not the victims”.
The individual, who Ms Ricketts claims stuck a camera up her skirt and took a photograph, has not been charged.
The judges’ decision, released on Wednesday, said “photographs and visual recordings are inherently expressive”, as is the process creating them, ensuring their protection under the First Amendment.
I just really don't know what to say about this ruling.

Having read the piece, I understand the Court of Appeals issue with the law. And I also firmly believe that each judge should be subjected to photographers who harass them in the same way the victim in this case was.

It would be interesting to see their reaction, if someone did the same thing to their wives and daughters as was done to the woman in the article.

It makes sense to some degree in both directions.
Here's the problem: A lot of people compare this to bikinis and ask "what's the difference?" between that article of clothing being recorded/photographed and a pair of panties.
I think this is facile to dismiss because a skirt is a clear and present indication that the person wishes that part of their body to remain private, hence the article of clothing.
It's considered a "private" area, and if someone went out of their way to take a picture of it in any other situation it would be a crime.
This upskirt stuff really needs to die and go away, there's no place for it in society.

Nah, they're actually starting to take that kind of stuff seriously. Women can board the front of trains in the subway during rush hour so they don't have any contact with men.
There's also been a huge surge in the police force (there are now more cops per person than there are in NYC in MXC).

If you bitches would just quit wearing panties, this wouldnt be a problem.
