About the article
This article is about how the highest court in Massachusetts ruled that is not illegal to secretly take pictures underneath a persons clothing such as a dress or skirt. This is known as up skirting. The court ruled that it did not violate any laws because the women that were in these photographs were not nude. This court ruling stems from Michael Robinson who was arrested back in 2010 for taking pictures and recording videos up the skirts of women. This ruling reversed the previous ruling from a lower court.
My opinion
My opinion is that the higher court got it wrong. Yes, they claim it doesn't violate law but I feel like it violates the right to privacy. Can you imagine knowing done guy took a picture up your dress and has a picture of your underwear (hopefully you're wearing underwear) on his phone. I imagine it would feel disgusting!
How it related to Mrs. Ashley's class
This article talks about how he appealed to a higher court which we learned about when we were talking about the Constitution, it talks about the right to appeal in article 3!
This is so gross; truly, what is our world coming to? Sure, this isn't nudity, but isn't there a level of respectability that we all should be held to? Isn't that why White Oak has that ridiculous dress code? Women in other countries are being punished for wearing pants and an American court just declared taking pictures up women's skirts legal. Polar opposites, right there. Please excuse me while I go throw up.
ReplyDeleteWhy is this guy taking pics up women/girls skirts? Can he not find a girlfriend to do that to? Either way, it's still creepy. I think that should be a violation of privacy. It doesn't matter if they aren't nude, it's still a personal and private area that shouldn't be seen in such a light. People these days worry me...a lot.
ReplyDeleteThe court has gotten it wrong this time. I would feel so violated if someone just randomly walked up an took a picture like that. Braxton's right, even thought they aren't nude it is still a private area.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I just read that is basically Americans don't have the right to privacy from anyone. I feel like this will make a whole new problem in the messed up world now. That's like saying I can see all the top secret stuff the government do but its restricted? Doesn't make sense to rule one specific case.
