I wonder if the pics are out.

 

[PricklyPete]

I assumed this was someone from ATOT who just got back from eating lunch with their supermodel girlfriend and wanted to grab a 5 hour energy drink before heading to there 6 figure (or is it 7 figure now...hard to keep up with times) job.


And yes...he has bad taste.

 

[alkemyst]

wow just wow.

 

[JulesMaximus]

wow just wow.

Oh come on, you can't tell me that you've never tried this alky? :sneaky:

 

[dabuddha]

haha they've received several tips!

 

[Bazake]

While this is morally disgusting, is it illegal? He is taking a photo in a public place and never touched her. Like those pictures of Britney Spears getting out of her car ... could that photographer have been charged with a crime?

It's a fuzzy line to draw, but the distinction is usually whether or not there is a "reasonable expectation of privacy". I don't think you'd have to try very hard to convince a judge or jury that a woman has a reasonable expectation of privacy under her dress -- unless, as in the case with Britney, she upturned her dress, or otherwise made it plainly visible to another person.

I hope they don't ID the guy for a couple of weeks.

If he's seen these news stories, he's got to know he was on multiple cameras. I want him to sweat some bullets before the hammer drops.

There are also different laws IRT public figures/celebrities.

Never understood the appeal of those pictures. Same with bathroom spy pics or whatever. So gross and unappealing.

My guess is it's more about the thrill of doing or having done that, then reliving the thrill of the chase through the footage you get.

Seriously though... just go to the beach, put on sunglasses, see the same thing minus the hassle.

So,

If she was bending over, kneeling down, or sitting legs open = totally legal.
If she was standing still and not moving = illegal.

Seems a bit hard to differentiate. Of course, I wouldn't guess this is very common so maybe it's handled on a case by case basis.

Agreed... his move is illogical.

Yes, her actions make all the difference. So do his - he used the camera in a way no reasonable person would anticipate.

It would have to be argued on a case-by-case basis, determining in each instance if an expectation of privacy was reasonable for the circumstances.

If she went out in the parking lot, did a handstand, and her dress flipped up (or down, as it were) exposing her undergarments, one could reasonably argue that she no longer had an expectation of privacy, and photographing her would not infringe her rights.

In general, a photographer is within his rights to photograph anything that is "in plain view." Basically, if you can see it from where you're standing, you can photograph it. You'd have a tough time defending this right, however, if you were standing under the bleachers taking pictures up the skirts of students, for example.

He has an M3. No need to go that route.

That Kristi Wyatt chick in the video is smoking.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

Pervs used to wear mirrors on their shoes. It's nice to see them successfully transition into the digital age.

Yes, yes she is.

So virtually anyone who looks up at a woman on stairs wearing a short dress and gets a free peek at her underwear will also be charged with a crime?

Yes, the woman has a reasonable expectation for privacy, but was her skirt so short that she was inviting the peek? LOL

I could see some of the resident my little pony or japanophiles doing this
