[...]the state's highest court ruled that a man who took cellphone photos up the skirts of female subway riders did not violate existing statutes.

I suppose the ladies would go to jail for kicking the pervert in the groin....

Marvelous. Just dandy....

How would you change the statutes?

Any photo the victim does not like?

Any photo that shows a private area?

Upskirting is defiantly wrong I am not sure how you would make it illegal.

No word if shooting up the skirt of a meter maid is legal or not though.

18.2-286.1, Code of Virginia reads in part:

A. It shall be unlawful for any person to knowingly and intentionally videotape, photograph, or film any nonconsenting person or create any videographic or still image record by any means whatsoever of the nonconsenting person if (i) that person is totally nude, clad in undergarments, or in a state of undress so as to expose the genitals, pubic area, buttocks or female breast in a restroom, dressing room, locker room, hotel room, motel room, tanning bed, tanning booth, bedroom or other location; or (ii) the videotape, photograph, film or videographic or still image record is created by placing the lens or image-gathering component of the recording device in a position directly beneath or between a person's legs for the purpose of capturing an image of the person's intimate parts or undergarments covering those intimate parts when the intimate parts or undergarments would not otherwise be visible to the general public; and when the circumstances set forth in clause (i) or (ii) are otherwise such that the person being videotaped, photographed, filmed or otherwise recorded would have a reasonable expectation of privacy.
​

(emphasis added).

That's how you make upskirting, toilet cams, and the like illegal.

With some exceptions -- I don't see why filming LE in public should be made illegal.

Common sense just isn't common anymore. Especially when you get lawyers involved!

ok....let the bidding begin. You can paypal me the money, and please indicate which you want: To see me in a Meter Maid outfit, or to NOT see me in a meter maid outfit.
I'm keeping all the cash, but first side to $500 gets their way.
If no one participates, you will all see me, but I wont be wearing a meter maid outfit.



As to the original topic, the nice lawmakers went and passed a hurry up law making upskirt shots illegal.
I wonder if they left room for the willing.

Prob. not. thinking and lawmaker rarely go together.

They already passed a new law in response to that ruling, making it illegal to take 'upskirt' photos.
