Um...
Ok. Now, correct me if I am wrong, but back aways in time, not too long ago that people under thirty do not recall it (I am twenty nine in a week or so, so I know whereof I speak), there was a time in which a woman wearing a skirt, had the precise same expectation of privacy while walking around on her daily business, as she did when in her own bath, behind closed doors. In fact, so did everyone else.
There was a time where people used to mind their own business, and expected others to mind theirs, and had every reason to expect that, because it is a matter of common decency, respect, and good manners not to go around videoing people without their permission. Are we really saying, in these modern times, that the deliberately invasive act, of placing a video camera in such a position as to create video of a ladies undergarments without their permission, is now ethically and legally unassailable?
When the hell did that happen? I consider it one of the foremost, the primary considerations of a man, to uphold the virtues, and whatever chastity may remain to members of the opposite sex, to protect them from danger, from assaults to their dignity and honour. Does the law now recognise the right of lecherous persons, to make videos of women without their permission, for the purpose of gratification of the videographer, or indeed their client (in the event of these videos being made to order, or as part of an internet business)?
There is a great deal wrong with Great Britain at the moment, but at least this sort of foolishness would simply not fly here. I would like to make clear, Massachusetts lawmen have simply got this wrong, and I hope to God they learn to get it right soon!

I am sure there are perverts working security cams. I remember when I went on work experience, I was asked to go and learn a little about store security. I did my work experience in a retail environment, at a sort of supermarket type of place. Heavy discounts on virtually everything.
Anyway, the security manager at the store was forever using the cams to closely observe the bosom of female shoppers, and employees of the store. I mentioned it in an off hand manner on my last day, to the general manager of the store, and I left to the sound of angry chaos!
The thing is Danbones, while we have a massive number of cameras, and while that is an invasion of the general privacy of all us Brits, and while that may stick in my craw like toffee mixed with glue, the fact is that none of the cameras which fall into that bracket, are positioned so as to give them the best possible view of some poor unsuspecting persons crotch. There is much to dislike about the CCTV culture we live in here, but some lech trying to score panty shots is still very much frowned upon.

Not morality, privacy. How`d you feel if someone installed a live webcam in your toilet and had people paying to watch you.

I'm not trying to be argumentative i totally agree privacy is a very important part of freedom, and to be fair the Russians put cameras in the bathrooms at Sochi I read. I just feel that it it isn't the little perv thats the big fear...its the Damn State SourceThis ranks right down there with watching children at home on their free laptops like they do a couple of states over in PA

State sponsored violations of privacy are bad enough. But the idea that private citizens now have carte Blanche to effectively video the private bits of other private citizens without permission is something else entirely.

So if your mum is wearing a nice floaty summer dress which is below the knee you would see no problem with me filming up it ??

Apparently he doesn't. Apparently he thinks his mother would be asking for it by wearing a dress to begin with instead of jeans. Regardless of the fact that dresses are more modest than tight jeans which show everything.

I knew there was a reason I liked you... may we all leave behind an unjust situation, at least a vortex of political tumult, if not positive change. Bravo Brit. My end of it (terrible joke admitedly) is the same. The only cure here is to give a sudden context switch to the voyeur: springing to mind (God I can't help it) would be a Loch Ness where there should have been a Firth of Fourths. That'll teach the twerp.
