Reply to: Upskirting to be outlawed

Hmmm. Maybe sell knickers with miniature CCTVs to detect such actions. Or knickers with "No filming here" on them. Or knickers that open when an online purchase is made.

I blame all that skimpy underwear....

I'm not a lawyer but the wording seems fairly reasonable apart from the word 'beneath'.

Why? What's unreasonable about that? How else would you take a view up someone's skirt if not from some optical device beneath it?

There are already a number of laws regarding that which have caused numerous problems in the past but this is different and a little bit of research:

Scotland already has such a law in place.

Scotland passed a law banning upskirting 9 years ago, no fuss, no objections.

I wonder if that is because men wear skirts in Scotland?

Not having seen the specifics of the bill I'm a little uneasy about this as it is presumably outlawing the taking of photographs in a public place.

Up-skirting does have its uses though. Every time I go to Thailand and am considering a "lady" for the night, a quick up-skirt photo taken allows me to establish whether I'll be receiving a bit extra that I don't really want to be given.

What about post op?

Seems summit that should be illegal but not so sure about the blocking after reading that DT article. He rightly says that bills should be subject to proper scrutiny. The principle of the new law may be ok but are the details?

PS Can't see why anyone would get turned on by the poor sort of picture you are likely to get from doing it anyway.

Sir Christopher Chope, whose last name sounds like some sort of dubious penile polyp, has been thrust before my eyes against my will, like cellulite on a beach.

and in a great victory for the freedom of perves in the UK, brave Sir Christopher Chope MP has blocked the bill.

Plenty of photo ops on the benches for Chris...

Someone needs to slip a camera under the door while he's taking a crap and plaster it all the place, see how he likes it. Sexist Tory tulip...

He likes that.
