What Did You Do During the War On Terror, Daddy?
The married anti-terrorist officer told police he was working undercover to video al-Qaeda suspects. But back at the station they found his camera had close-ups of bottoms and knickers.
He was nabbed by a plain-clothes team watching out for perverts and paedophiles in Trafalgar Square, Central London, on Tuesday. A police source claimed the man, a Scotland Yard surveillance expert with more than 20 years' experience, had the camera hidden in a sports bag. He added: "The officer used surveillance techniques for his own perverted hobby - taking pictures up women's skirts.
Whole thing here. Rule, Britannia.

Really, now. I'm all for whatever floats your boat, but stroking it to out-of-focus shots of underwear is just plain stupid. Third only photos of mimes and head shots of Minnie Pearl.
"Well, I shoveled shit in Louisiana."
Jeff P.,
Native of Nashville am I. You are correct that Minnie is not the most titillating to focus upon sexually, but I still think of her very, very fondly.
Instead of an "upskirt," I'm thinking a close-up ot the tag hanging from her hat may say, "Harvey's has it!"
THAT is stimulating. (To a certain minuscule element.)
That's not really a perverted hobby. It's just a creepy hobby.
The use of the name 'Minnie Pearl" and the word "teabag" in one sentence make me shudder.
I agree, I found Minnie very funny. But if I ever walked in one someone stroking it to a picture of her, well, someone's got issues.
How does a libertarian justify laws against Peeping Toms? Is demonstrable harm done to the person whose private regions are being viewed?

I don't think there should be laws against it, unless of course some other right was violated in an effort to do the peeping. I agree that it is creepy, though.
BTW, you look nice today.

I didn't realize Trafalgar Square was that seedy.
