Isn't this what we wanted though? Zero tolerance? No nasty grey areas?

It's paradise.

Zero tolerance on paper looked good. But when coupled with Zero common sense its a disaster.

Hopefully it never gets that bad here.
Too late. :disgust:

Similar case to what I described.

"Matthews also looks at cases like the one of a high school student visited by the Secret Service for taking a photograph of a magazine page of President George Bush with a thumbtack in his head."

I wonder if a good portion of it is so that these people "discovering" the pictures can get their 15 minutes of fame?
"I discovered a child pornographer!" or "I found a terrorist! Give me a goddamn medal!"

Idiots.

The place where they've banned private gun ownership and crime has gotten worse!

Oh what a perfect world that would be. At the very least, ban them from transatlantic flights, trains, theaters, etc.

ORLY?

In the US when we catch perverts we then uphold their right to be perverts!

http://www.cwfa.org/articles/1.../pornography/index.htm

Imagine taking your 16-year-old daughter to the store and having a pervert aim a camera up her skirt and take pictures. You would expect the man to be arrested, tried and convicted for being a peeping tom. But if you live in Oklahoma, you would be wrong. Only two out of the three steps in the process happened; the pervert was not sent to jail. (The American Heritage College dictionary defines a "pervert" as "one who practices sexual perversion" and "perversion" as "a sexual practice or act considered deviant." In my opinion, this man is a pervert.)

Instead, the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals ruled 4-1 to dismiss the charges because Riccardo Gino Ferrante and the young girl were both in a public place when he decided to photograph her private parts. The "brilliant" piece of judicial reasoning behind this travesty of justice goes something like this: The "Peeping Tom" statute requires the victim to be "in a place where there is a right to a reasonable expectation of privacy."
Most girls I know consider under their skirts to be private... dammit.

I would have just aimed the camera at her and took her picture and said "There, now I have something for my dart board" and then walked away.

Oh, stop being melodramatic. It is not common, it does not happen "a lot". Yes, it happens occasionally, by paranoid, idiotic parents.

But that is the direction we are moving in.

As to your 'travesty of justice' comment, I suppose we should just stop prosecuting all crimes that aren't murders and assault because they are a waste of our time? And if it were my daughter, the only assault going on would be me smashing the fucker's camera into his face.

And you'd rightfully be charged for that. Hopefully convicted and sentenced. Every law is to be upheld and enforced, but a travesty of justice is an egregious failing of justice, therefore its use should be reserved for the most egregious of crimes. Just because you get absurdly bent out of shape about this particular incident doesn't make it a travesty.
