For those of you who didn't hear, earlier in March a 34 year old man was caught taking pictures up this 16 year old girl's skirt at Target and the Tulsa Court appealed the case, 4-1 in favor of the creepy old man! That's right, the felony charge was dismissed. That was based upon a determination that "the person photographed was not in a place where she had a reasonable expectation of privacy". Hear that ladies? If you wear a skirt or dress in Target, it's 100% LEGAL for strangers to take pictures up your dress without your consent or you even knowing! In other words, it is open season for peeping toms in public places who want to look under a woman's dress. Nice, eh?
That's Oklahoma for ya, right? Wrongo.
Just today a similar Florida case has been thrown out which charged a man who used a mirror to look under a woman's skirt at Barnes & Noble. The nasty man's defense attorney argued that the charge should be dropped because the creepy man's accuser didn't have a "reasonable expectation of privacy in a public place under Florida law". And guess what? It was dropped. Good to know that all is well in the world and I can finally sleep now.
Seriously now. Didn't have a reasonable expectation of privacy? In Barnes and Noble and Target? So if I wear a dress to Barnes and Noble and Mr.Pervert over there pretending to read knitting books wants to take pics up my dress- it's okay?! Well, apparently, it is. I really don't understand why or how people are getting away with this. How can a court look at a man who took pictures up a 16 year old girl's skirt and say, "Well! You are a man! That is expected of you and she WAS wearing a skirt in a public place which sounds to me like an open invite...SO- Mr.Pervertman- come with me and we'll get some Micky D's and you'll tell me what camera is best for demoralizing young girls with."
Don't you just love all this freedom we have?
