Has anyone seen this bill? What does "up the skirt" mean? Does it have angles involved? Does it mean that if you're taking a photo of someone higher up than you on e.g. a staircase when someone else happens to think their arse is on view thereby, that you can end up in jail for 2 years? When females are on beaches and by pools, sometimes starkers anyway, this kind of thing needs proper consideration, before all hell lets loose Unless women don't actually wear undies when they go out. In which case I've been wasting half my youth thinking how to get them off.
OK then you go on and explain exactly what this law might actually mean. Do you think that "it's illegal to take photos of women's undercarriage" would be a law that could in any way be enforceable? How would you phrase your law? p.s.do we have a "big cleavage " law coming (sorry) next?
I think it's really sad that there's a need for a law on this, regardless of what the ***** of an MP says. It's just so clearly and obviously wrong. How on earth could someone argue against such a law? Mind boggling.
I'm referring to the fact that one MP can veto a law. But yes, taking photos up girls/women's skirts/dresses without consent is disgusting. Of course it can be enforceable with evidence, like anything else can.
Can you give an example of a legitimate photo which you'd also describe as "upskirt"? Because I'm honestly struggling.
Of course, I agree with you Dave but try googling the Tenth Man Rule and you may get closer to his motives. Still ***** though.
The Scots have managed it, though anyone wanting to venture up the Sturgeon skirt might need incarceration rather than imprisonment.
This is my point. If you're talking about pervies trawling with their iphones on sticks, no probs. If you take a photo from below of your wife on a staircase, with some short skirted offended woman walking by on said same staircase, who is on your photo, then 2 years in jail?
I'd also imagine the law would have to prove intent. Easy enough to do if the upskirt shot is the obvious focus of a photo.
That's an everyday scenario. Weddings, funerals and bar mitzvahs. It's a big risk taking a photograph of your wife/partner/children/best mate these days.
You may be right. But anyway, what is so wonderful about a picture of someone's knickers? There's enough porn on the net to kill excitement stone dead anyway.
Not once in my adult life (or at any point since being a toddler) have I attempted to look up a woman's skirt, be that with my eyes or a camera. The underside of a pair of knickers doesn't exactly get me all hot and bothered
