Some guy on the Boston Subway was taking pics up the skirts of women, unbeknownst to the women of course. I suppose men too if they were wearing skirt. STORY

Anyways, a judge said that this activity did not violate state law.

I ask you if a young woman were to take an upskirt selfie and send it to, oh i dunno, anyone really - would it be considering sexting?

I'm hiring a camera crew and vacationing in Boston. I'll call it a traffic report war to liberate people an undercover fashion shoot.

Well, it may not violate state law there. There's other states where people have been convicted for it. We need one of those "age of consent" style sites where you can easily research which states will allow you to take secret hoo-hah photos on the bus.

Without reading the case in question, I assume that the judge does not condone the behavior but is simply noting that the state legislature hasn't kept up with technology in this regard and there's not a Mass state law that applies to the defendant's behavior. The solution there seems fairly obvious (big government!)

I hate the pseudo-word "sexting" and refuse to dignify your last question with an answer out of protest.

That is ****** up, creepy and sad. But why are women wearing skirts this time of year? Isn't it cold in Boston?

Looking at the Google links I provided, I see another case where an Indiana man was convicted on child exploitation charges for taking upskirts of minors at the mall and it was overturned in appeals. Since the law requires the images of the children to depict them acting "sexually" and the upskirt photos were just, you know, upskirt photos, there wasn't a basis for the sexual behavior component.

So, I dunno... tell your daughters to wear underwear, I guess. Clean underwear, too.

Saw that, struck me as some overly literal interpenetration of a law that allowed for this to be suddenly okay. I got the feeling that any loophole would be quickly closed though, as the spirit of the law was to try and prevent things like this, but that it was perhaps just worded poorly.

They're sluts and are asking for it. Feel free to rape, pillage and photograph at will. Smiley: oyvey That's a seriously messed up question.


The police had set up a sting to catch the guy...only to be told the activity wasn't illegal. Smiley: lol Man, they must be pissed.

Inch for inch, are skirts significantly colder than legged garments covering the same area? Pants for full length skirts, shorts for minskirts, whatever.

Yes. They are quite drafty, until you start hitting floor length with 2-3 layers of petticoats and flounce ala the 19th century.

In the winter I always have on leggings underneath skirts of any length.

Pressure is now on MA legislature to amend the law to explicitly say that photographs of deliberately hidden clothing from unusual angles are also included, or some such.

This took place back in 2010. It may not have been wintertime when the photographer was collecting upskirts.

This took 4 years to come to trial? Smiley: confused

This verdict was by the state supreme court so it must have gone through multiple trials.

Nothing like spending four years of your life on legal challenges just to see a grainy dark photo of some random woman's panties.

I think the "getting away with it" aspect is the larger part of that particular fetish, along with imagining how hurt/angry/humiliated she would be if only she knew.

Bet it loses some of its appeal now that it's legal.

Just so long as they weren't drunk, right?

Probably shouldn't be illegal. The wording of the law will have to be close to absurd because conceptually it's fairly absurd for this to be a crime. Someone photographs you weeping as you find out your child was killed: perfectly fine. Someone takes a photo of the magical forbidden clothing you're wearing, well that's jail time, buddy. Because: sex? I guess? Same forbidden clothing near the ocean in summer...perfectly fine. It's idiotic.

Couldn't you at least make some kind of harassment claim, or disrupting the peace, or something? I mean public place and all, but still you'd think there'd be some kind of other options.

Well, assuming you caught the person doing it of course...

Wear pants? Pass a law making any photo of a person without their consent in advance illegal? Or just use the current standard that you have no real expectation of privacy on a @#%^ing subway. The whole premise is bizarre to me. Criminalizing the taking of an image of a body part exposed in a public place? The hell? Yeah, it's creepy behavior, yes it breaks the social contact. So does marching around yelling that the Jews control everything or that Obama is going to send yer gunz to Kenya or whatever, but we protect those things, because erring on the side of allowing things that make us uncomfortable is preferable to criminalizing things based on perceived intent. Thoughtcrime is a foolish standard.

If you know they're doing it, I believe you can deny consent for the photo.

I'm thinking that if they called the place up inside a skirt, or even down inside the pants, a private place, then a person could reasonably be expected not to be photographed there.

So, if you wear a bikini on the subway, it's fine to take a picture of that. If you wear a dress, now it's illegal. Sure, that sounds reasonable and easily enforceable. Already a crime to reach into someone's pants or skirt, and reasonable and easy to enforce. This wouldn't be. Is it a crime if a woman lifts her skirt up and laughs to her friends and a stranger takes a picture, or only if he has to expend thought or effort to take the picture. Shoecam illegal, but google glass record of what his eyes could see anyway legal?

It's a ******* quagmire. "This makes me uncomfortable" shouldn't be the standard for criminalizing behaviour.

A bikini is different fabric than granny panties. It's (in theory) a more opaque material, and was designed to be outer wear. Most women don't go around wearing bikinis underneath their clothes, at least not the sorts of women who would object to up-skirts in the first place.

You never know what else a woman has going on underneath the skirt besides panties, too. What if she has a colostomy bag? What if she is menstruating? Those are medical privacy violations, not just physical clothing ones. Some women are required by their religions to wear skirts and pants are not an option (oddly enough, most sects of Islam are totally okay with pants and it tends to be Christian sects that require skirts)

It is squicky, but forbidding it is getting into serious diva behavior.

Not that odd. Modesty is what's required, and that is culturally defined.

What I like about Islam vis-a-vis Christianity is that modesty is equally required of men and women, on paper at least.

No, they aren't. No more than taking a picture of a person in a wheelchair is.

There's just nothing magic about a ****** when it's ******* covered by clothes. It's stupid to pretend there should be.
