Lewd, but not yet illegal
Back in Septmber 2002, we mentioned that the Washington State Supreme Court found that 'upskirt' photographs may be deemed lewd but legal (reg req) stating that the defendant secretly taking pictures up women's skirts in public places was disgusting and reprehensible but not criminal.
Now, Congress is looking to criminalize 'Video Voyeurism', defined as videotape, photograph, film, broadcast or record a naked person or someone in underwear anyplace where a "reasonable person would believe that he or she could disrobe in privacy" and would be punishable by up to a year in jail.
However, using your cell phone camera to snap a picture of that cute ass passing by and posting it to the internet would not be effected by passage of S. 1301.
AVN reports that the bill has passed the house.
