And the legislature just put forward a bill to put an end to it. Say what you will about politicos, sometimes they do serve the people. Legislature Drafts Bill Banning Upskirt Shots in Massachusetts

Those great draftsmen of the First Amendment must have had just such an issue foremost in their minds when they passed it. "Verily, every American must have the absolute right to peer up ladies' dresses in order to capture photographic images of their thighs and bloomers".

Yes as long as it doesn't cost the government or the wealthy anything they are ALL over it.

Not any more: http://www.cnn.com/2014/03/07/justice/massachusetts-upskirt-bill/

Bill banning upskirt photos signed into law this morning by Governor Patrick.
Yesterday, the bill was passed by the Massachusetts legislature, one day after the court ruling.

It's not the law being intentionally bad. There was a loophole, someone exploited it and got away with it because what he did was technically legal according to the way the law was worded, and then they closed the loophole so other people can't do that.

Maybe, or maybe they had in mind protecting the right of bored poms to make a career out of snarking at Americans.

Yep, the lawyers wrote an overly complicated law that the courts ruled did not apply in the creeper's case.

Hmm, how to word a law that would make the creeper's antics with upskirt, downshirt, toilet cam, and infrared tit-shot videos unlawful while not criminalizing the photographer's lawful ability to take public venue pictures?

The use of film or digital photography or electronic surveillance to offensively compromise the modesty of garbed citizens shall be considered an infraction punishable by .... <insert appropriate punishment for creepers>

A BTW sidebar: Why include "infrared tit-shots"
After Sony mistakenly shipped a model of video camera that had an infrared low light setting that allowed you to film the body through clothing it came to light that many of the CCD elements in any digital video cameras can actually see through clothing but you get only visible light as there is a software filter to give you good looking pictures and cut out non visible spectra.
At one time there were HNGs trolling the grocery stores with Sony video cams and posting tit shots of the female patrons.
It would be difficult but possible to do a machine language level hack on some digital cameras in order to turn it into "x-ray goggles".
